I don't use wince a lot (I don't really have a device). Do other
applications cover that bottom panel or do they leave it intact?

But that is what Windows CE wants ... I think that OnClose also isn't
called because Windows CE won't send a WM_CLOSE message unless you are
out of memory.

Some people want the app to do like WinCE wants, then we need to
provide a mechanism to detect on startup if another instance is
already running and wake up the old instance instead of running a new
one if so.

Some people want the app to do like on other widgetsets: just close.
Then we need an way to detect that. WM_CLOSE doesn't work. And we also
need a mechanism to override that.

Rebuild your IDE using gtk2 to develop on a unicode environment:

cd lazarus
make clean all LCL_PLATFORM=gtk2

Gtk 1 will never be a unicode widgetset because it has inconsistent
internationalization support:
