I am not clear about what you are saying here: at present closing the
un-docked palettes means they are hidden and will not re-appear on
re-starting Denemo. Currently there is no user-method of actually
destroying palettes, which, because the implementation is so simple,
actually consumes time at startup; it would be good to know if anyone
with a slow machine finds this an issue - I could add "destroy" buttons
which could set the user's palettes.xml file to an empty xml document
saving time at startup (and at the same time a button to remove the
user's denemo.scm which would enable them to get rid of buttons they may
have added to the toolbars).
