For win32 it is. TApplication.Handle is indeed the handle of a 0x0 size
window.
All forms with Application as owner are the child of this window. This is
(at least ion win32) Focussing and enable/disable is handled.

If you write for instance dll's with forms, you can assign the handle of
your mainappwindow to your dll.application.handle to control focus etc.

I don't know if this is a way to tell gtk that there is only one app
running. I'll look at it (some day)
