Hi Tomek, I think it depends on what you call an "application". You could treat a single window class as a whole application, but for me, each window type has one specific purpose within a larger application.
For example, my application has a ResultsExplorer window for the user to browse query results, a Map window to browse geographically, a PropertiesEditor to view/edit the properties of objects, an ImageViewer window to view stills and video in, etc. All these windows work together to make up a larger "application". E.g., the user can drag a marquee around a geographic space in the Map window which queries the business tier and returns a set of selected objects to a ResultsExplorer window. Or the user can click a "locate" button in most windows to locate whatever they are looking at in a MapWindow.

I just got time to look at it yesterday and it's a piece of solid work. Also thanks to Fabian for info on bringing the app up with 0.6.5. I have a question. You are extending QxWindow class and then extending your own Window class to create four new Window classes. So now, each of these new Window classes can be though of as separate applications. So if you wanted to create an application you would put all relevant code inside of one of the new Window classes (e.g. ext.ui.window.NetImageWindow), right?
