My taskbar looks the same - totally useless. :-(  I'm normally a big fan of
SDI layouts, but when it comes to Lazarus IDE, there are just to many
forms. Maybe I need one of those 2x2 rack mount LCD monitor setups - so I
can use 4 desktops to layout my IDE windows. ;-)

Other simple things that could help is automatically hide windows when not
needed. eg: When you compile your project, show the Messages window. If no
compiler errors, auto hide the window. If errors occur, keep showing the
window. If you wanted to see what hints or warnings occurred during
compiling and after a successful compile, simply go "View -> Messages".

support in Lazarus IDE is still far into the future. So yes, I'll continue
and make the modification for now. If anybody wants to use the patch, I'll
post it in Mantis.
