[Gvsig_english] dual monitor and gvsig

[VT]

Ben,
Yes, it is a very weak point. During use it's normal to open a lot of child
windows and it's very difficult to manage them in one monitor. IMHO at this
point it could be more useful the possibility to fix windows in the
interface instead of using obsolete arcview3.x styled floating childs...

thanks

Paolo
