OK, that's clever.  Interestingly the Kylix 3 help doesn't mention
anything of that behavior.

That's true!  The other thing that many applications do and that
annoys the crap out of me is that they always assume the taskbar is at
the top or bottom of the screen.
For example, I have a wide screen display. To me it makes more sense
to put the taskbar on the left edge of the screen. It makes it easier
to see the names of running programs in the taskbar.  So many
applications start up and are partially hidden behind the taskbar (on
the left of my screen) because they assumed the taskbar is always at
the bottom edge of the screen!
