I don't know yet but since Klaus is the leader of the Maintenance task
force it might be possible to install a FAQ on the MUG's web page. But it is
quite some work...

Right. But I don't see a good solution for this. A possibility might be
to use some variables in the Application object, but this is not very
feasable.

This is quite useless (SetPosition) because you usualy have the screen
coordinates for the objects :-)
No, we haven't found a useful purpose for the Scene::OnStartUp attribute.
We use it in the Application object to make a TransitionTo the Scene but
this can also be done with the method you described below.
