exactly, thats the problem in windows but in gtk no problem exists i use
this technology in all of my applications so i can better add
functionality 
to "views" and dont have to add all of the code in an single unit

No ! i create all forms with nil or Application as Parent and set the
Parent 
Later. The biggest problem i have at time is in gtk when i set an
Borderstyle to bsNone (the window is docked) and set it back to bsSingle
it has always bsNone.

Thats exactly the way i use this, but i use it also to manage the
"views" 
In my applications you can also dock out the window and use it on an
second 
Monitor or something else ....
