Explicitly, when the IDE finds an open .pas at startup it opens the 
corresponding form as a graphic even if it wasn't open when the IDE was 
last shut down, and even if the text representation of the .lfm is open. 
I think this is the root of my original complaint, plus there's no r/o 
property on the graphical representation of a form, and it doesn't 
inherit r/o from a text representation.
