Not at all. Use one form as the "main" form, a form who'd instance will
always exist and host the application message pump. In my apps it's
typically the first app form shown that isn't a login or splash screen. So
ApplicationEx.Run(mainForm) is the app entry from Main. In that Form's ctor
I do any splashing or authentication.
