I'm wondering how do you put all the stuff on your form in design time and
how do you link stuff. I meanwhen you've got an OpenDialog, SaveDialog,
MainMenu and so on you've got some of those tiny icons you use when you need
to invoke some special design action such as open a specific design menu for
the corresponding component, view how it runs etc. Where do you put these
icons, so they don't bug you? If you've got to use lots Open and Save
dialogs do you make lots of them or just one of each and set their
properties at runtime, so they don't have to bother you, occupying you
design space? And stuff like that..

If there is a tidy place on my form (typically inside a large edit box)
I will put them there.

If there is a good reason to share them, I will put them in a separate
data module. If there are a lot, I may do this anyway <g>

With File Open/Save dialogs I rarely have more than one per form, and
just tweak a couple of properties at run time.

Probably the main reason I found for multiple dialog components would
be to arrange multiple filters - they are nicer to edit in the IDE than
code.
