suggestion - window positions/icons

Hi folks,

I have two suggestions:

1 - My task bar is at the top of the display (I'm using XP).  When
new windows open (e.g. an SQL window), I need to first move it down
so it is not obscured by the task bar.  How about not opening it
obscured?

2 - When using ALT-TAB to go through the list of windows, all the
icons are the same.  This is not the case with the icons in the task
bar.  Why not make them different in the alt-tab process?

The initial Window placement is handled by Windows, as we do not know
what else is on your screen at any time without jumping through hoops to
find out.

Again we're constrained by Microsoft code - whilst we do tend to use
different icons for each dialogue, Windows/Visual Basic only uses the
main application icon in the alt-tab list.

Sorry I cannot be more help :-(, but hopefully these issues will be more
easily resolvable in pgAdmin III if they crop up in that code base.
