In Preferences: Tick this box if you want the dialog boxes to be closed manually (i.e. stay after a run)<br>

<div>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.
