Here are some random thoughts on iconficiation:

* What 2.0 does with CLI windows is not really iconification.  It
  can switch between two window sizes, which is quite nice, but
  the smallest size is large enough to be annoying nonetheless.
  I think a small icon is better (ala xoper, calc3.0, pfm, etc).

* Iconfication of screens: why not?  This doesn't seem any harder
  to do than iconification of windows, using Leo Schwab's(sp?)
  library.  Seems generally useful to free up chip ram for other
  things.

It might be nice if C= adopted Leo's iconification library, and
made it a "standard" for applications to support.  Having used this
library for several things I've written, I know it is quite easy to
do.
