IMO, the solution to this thread's topic is to have a Project Groups Manager to
switch projects in a single click.

Something that looks like the project manager, but with following functionality:
1) Create project group and add projects to it.
2) Double click on any project saves and closes current project and loads the
   double-clicked project.
3) Ability to compile/build all projects in project group.
   I understand Lazarus is project-based, so this can only be done by switching
   projects in project group and compiling/building them one by one.
   (i.e. e.g. Load Project 1 -> Build Project 1 -> Close Project 1 ->
              Load Project 2 -> Build Project 2... and so on...).

This way, no multiple IDEs needs to be opened, and no need to fight with Window-Manager's taskbar.
