I found the following:
When using tw-call, toswin2 is loaded only once.
The entries in the tasklist are instances of tw-call, of which everything is dummy.
The windows all belong to the 1 instance of toswin2.

When NOT using tw-call, all entries in the tasklist are instances of fully working
toswin2. !!! In this case the windows can be hidden individually, because each window
belongs to a different AES application: the instance of toswin2 that owns the window.

I have crosschecked this behaviour with N.Aes 1.2 to make sure there is not something
particular with XaAES.

One of the functions of tw-call apparently was to reduce the memory usage of toswin2.
At a price.

You can see by yourself by replacing tw-call by toswin2 in your cnf files.
