James,

If I understand the question right as starting the Control Desk separate 
from the Topology Window and having the Events in it, here is the mods I 
made to the app-defaults/OVw file:

displayCopyRightWindow      FALSE

OVw*shellX:       10
OVw*shellY:       10

OVw*shellWidth   1240
OVw*shellHeight   900

OVw*toolShellIconify   True

OVw*navTreeShellIconify    True


This makes the Control Desk full screen (almost) and iconifies the tool 
and nav tree.

Paul
