Alot of programs have one main dialog window, and then any multiple other windows it spawns stay within this one main window. So when you minimize them they just minimize down to the bottom of the main dialog window, rather than being outside of it and minimizing to your system tray. This could clean up the clutter, but probaby wouldn't help in the RAM issue. I know Gnucleus does this, and I think I remember reading Furthur was partly based on Gnucleus or something?
