Huidae,
I have already created the proposal: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/
wxGUIDevelopment/SingleWindow
(https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/wxGUIDevelopment/SingleWindow). It is
based on docking panes. :-) And as I wrote to Denis, we plan to build the
Single-Layout "next to" the Multi-Layout mode. However, I am not sure about
Map Displays yet (not sure about implementation options). I will need to
look more deeply at AUI class options.
The best way for Single-Layout mode would be to make Map Display panes that
would be dockable (possible to pull to the second monitor) and at the same
time, they could enable to be the part of the notebook. However, at this
time, I cannot answer if it is something possible or not. If the GSoC
application would succeed, I think the main task would be to prepare a good
foundation on which we can then build something more complex. :-)

Linda,
Would it be feasible to implement both single and multi-window modes just
like GIMP? I'm not sure how GIMP maintains both, but I can clearly see the
pros of multi-windows when you have multiple monitors. Maybe, docking panes?
Best,
Huidae

I trust you mean well. Let me provide some input.
My own GUI arrangement for GRASS work was on two monitors (same size,
same DPI). The first monitor with the two smaller GRASS windows plus
non-GRASS windows of the project was in in horizontal orientation. The
second monitor with the GRASS map display was in vertical orientation
to fit the region of interest. And I was running out of screen space
all the time, so if this was a commercial project, there would be at
least one more monitor to provide more space for the multiple
independent windows. Clearly, for a single window UI it would not make
as much sense.
One other interesting arrangement is a more or less ordinary monitor to
display some GUI in normal usable size plus another "high DPI" monitor
to display some other GUI that needs to show as many physical pixels at
once as possible. Of course, neither the physical size nor the pixel
count match between the monitors, so when a window spans more than one
monitor it becomes difficult to use.
Finally, GIMP has been using multiple window UI for many years, and the
users figure the GUI out just fine.
So a multiple window GUI makes a sound use case and it would be nice
to keep it reasonably accessible.
