Perhaps window was the wrong term - it's clearly a div/iframe, but I
still don't see why it needs to load Kronolith in the background.  It
means at least one extra click to return to IMP or the portal or what
ever - and extra clicks should be avoided as a matter of good UI
design.

Sweet.  But could you make it a preference then please?  Even having a
different shade would help distinguish.  At the moment I have
something that looks like:

O. Musterman
Gesellschaft

which looks to all the world like one meeting with O. Musterman at
Gesellschaft and not two separate events, one with O. Musterman and
one with Gesellschaft.  Even adding the meeting times, or even just
the start time would help with clarity.  Clarity is another plank of
good UI design principles.

Thanks.
