Minimize one form, not the whole application?

I have a Form1 defined as Main Form, but when i minimize Form1
does also Form2 minimize! How come? Is there any way to prevent
this?

If form2 is a child of form1 it will minimize both.

Make something else the main form - the way Delphi is set up,
minimizing the main form minimizes the application. (Note that this
same behaviour is evident in the Delphi IDE - if you minimize the bar
at the top of the screen, all Delphi IDE windows will be minimized
'into' it.)
