In the case of the iliad, the window manager is "matchbox". It has been configured so that it doesn't show titlebars; if you enable them, in the top-left icon of the window titlebar, matchbox shows a list of the running applications.
Tested alternatives:
Yokos has successfully used fluxbox instead of matchbox for having several applications opened at once:

In the start.sh script, if you change the " -use_titlebar no " to " -use_titlebar yes ", you should have the matchbox titlebar for full-screen apps, including ipdf. Alas, modifying start.sh is very dangerous (you can make you iliad incapable of booting, so you should double-check that you can reflash from CF before attempting this).
