[GRASS-dev] Several Map Displays open, closing asks for saving Workspaces only, not where to!

In grass64, if a user has several Map Displays open, and finishing up these 
"working sessions" by closing them, one by one, he is only asked if he wishes 
to save the "Workspaces".

This might easily result in a "loss of work" because the following can happen:

- launching grass
- working (several -- new -- mapsets)
- saving, manually a workspace, all fine
- closing the current Map Display --> the user is asked to save the (current?) 
workspace
- closing another Map Display --> again, the user is asked if he wishes to 
save the workspace -- but not where! So, the last "saving workspace 
confirmation" overwrites the previous one

Is that so, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Nikos
