[GRASS-dev] reducing screen clutter

So long as this does not impair my ability to process the same command for
multiple data layers in multiple ways simultaneously.....

Subject: [GRASS-dev] reducing screen clutter

Periodically, there are complaints about 'screen clutter' with GRASS. I
realized yesterday that a big cause of this is that each time a module is
called, a new instance of its dialog opens. So if you use v.buffer but
don't close the dialog, and then call v.buffer again GRASS opens a second
v.buffer dialog...and a third and a fourth, etc. So there seems to be the
need to have the wxPython parser module to just bring the window for a
module to the front if it is already open instead of opening another
instance. Sounds simple but is probably somewhat complicated of course. But
it would help the clutter problem a great deal.
