I like the idea to have direct access to each monitor. Yours approach
means that you have the double click - first at the choice book and
than at the desired monitor... I would prefer the panel approach also
because you can add "x" (close) button to the top of each panel.

Maybe this is a topic for GRASS survey?

I added your screenshot to the wiki [1] , so we can compare
side-by-side each proposal and maybe  piece the best peaces from all
together.
