The graphs are always on top of all windows even if I minimize DarwinBots. This is a bit frustrating because I've been trying to run evo-sims while I browsed the forums, but I'd have to minimize all 2-3 graph windows and then maximize them again when I wanted to chech the sim. I suggest that all sub-windows governed by DB automatically minimize when the main window is minimized, and that the always-on-top behavior of the graph windows, and perhaps option windows as well, be changed. Hey, why not also make it so that they don't take up space on the Task bar anymore? Well... actually, you can scratch that one if you want... I think I'm starting to sound whiney.

There's already some wonkiness in the graph windows' always-on-topness. It seems like if I minimize them all and then un-minimize them, only one of them remains always-on-top. The rest become normal - sort of. If you minimize just the one that's always-on-top, when you un-minimize it later the others will pop onto the top too (but they remain normal - click on another window and they're hidden again).

That section in the code is indeed a little wonky. Ideally Darwinbots would have all sub windows be children to the main window (MDI parent), but for some reason the drawing area that is used to see the graphics doesn't play well with other windows.
