Without looking at the code, this sounds like a better plan. I can't
remember the exact details (it was very long ago), but I do remember I
hit a similar issue in fpGUI Toolkit, and instead implemented my own
fpgApplication singleton, which descended directly from TComponent to
overcome the issue.

Being able to go back to TCustomApplication included in FPC would be
nice. Not to mention the more well known Application instance instead of
fpgApplication instance.
