1)
It is already merged together. :)

2)
The switch is basic already done but hardcoded.
I think dynamic switching can give problems, but with New WorkSpace(x, y, USEMDA) 
it could work. Not in progress ATM.

3)
The Tabstip stays always alive ATM. 
The child Windows Titlebar can switched complete off. The taskbar must do it.
If they are switched of only resize is possible, no buttons anymore.
Here one of the problems with the close button I must pay attention to.

I will look a way to hide it if it is possible in special case.
