Yes, that may suffice. Would this Persistent property also solve the problem
in the attached project: if I set a property in Webform2, it seems to just
be discarded? Is that instance of Webform2 not managed by gb.web.form or
something?

More specifically in that project, I want that the contents of the TextArea
on Webform2 are preserved across closing that window (and preferably across
refreshing the page).

In another matter: I'd also be a fan of being able to turn the title bar of
a window off (without removing the capability to resize it), or rather to
render my own title bar. That blue and the big icons don't match the design
of my project very well.

Regards,
Tobi
