Dirk,

Thanks for the reply. If I follow the calcoo approach of setting the main window as a dialog it would mean recompiling/rewriting apps, but maybe that is the only way.

I thought the same thing that since the built-in iRex applications are all full screen, the window manager might not support it, but I noticed that with the mrxvt application someone posted to the forums, I can open multiple terminal windows simultaneously on the screen in different areas at once, so I know it is possible. I just don't know how mrxvt was compiled...
