    <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">HI.<br>
      I use Lazarus & FPC to develop programs for WinCE since a few
      years (now on 1.0.8). Besides the usual beginner problems and
      errors, the whole system runs very well.<br>
      I've had a lot of problems with forms too until I understood that
      the window stack does not work very well.<br>
      I must mention that the handheld computers have a screen size fo
      320 x 240 less the top and bottom bars.<br>
      After a lot of tests I took the decision to work with modal forms
      and control myself the display and hiding  of the forms. The
      sequence wich works every time is the next one:<br>
      - all forms are created at the starting time<br>
      onto any form, need another form:<br>
      - prepare properties of the form to be dispayed<br>
      - Ret := OtherForm.ShowModal;<br>
      - do whatever to do whith ModalResult and OtherForm properties and
      data<br>
      - <b><big>Self.BringToFront;<br>
          <br>
        </big></b>On another hand these are the forms properties changed
      from the default:<br>
      <b><big>Form.Position := poScreenCenter;<br>
          Height := 320;<br>
          Width := 240;<br>
        </big></b>Form;KeyPreview := True;<br>
      All forms display without problem as full screen.<br>
      After a lot of time spent on checking different combinations, the
      former one gave predictable and acceptable results<br>
      Do not forget that with WinCE Microsoft didn't implement a lot of
      properties, methonds, etc. from a basic Windows OS.<br>

No experience with WinCE and Lazarus, but wasn't this problem fixed in 
Laz trunk? 
I at least recall a lot of posts about this a while ago...
