I agree with that (since I have already another tons of windows already open).
I have put a proposal here:

http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WxGUI#General_GUI_Design
-> Proposal for wxGUI layout modification (Recomposition of existing toolbars,
   mapview and menus)

which is essentially trapping the individual wxGUI windows in a single one.
At least optionally...
