Sorry for the late reply, lack of time....
Ah ah, now I see what you mean by "minimum". Not sure how much work this
would require, we might have to modify all those modules one by one.
In the mean time, as an alternative, have you ever tried the "Shade" functionality? This can easy hide windows when
not required.
