Hello, Qgis community:

I am not yet a QGIS user, but I'd like to know if QGIS supports several map 
display windows, possibly cooperating.

One of the things I do most in my current GIS (which I am only partly satisfied 
with) is to compare two rasters. It would be nice to plot them in separate 
windows, and when pan/zooming around in one, the other would update its extent 
and show the same area. I also frequently have lots of raster windows up 
simultaneously, from the QGIS screenshots this does not appear common usage.

To take it even further, the two maps could actually be time series, for 
instance repeated satellite images and simulated snow cover from a distributed 
hydrology model. Then also next/previous-buttons could be added to the display 
windows, again affecting both windows simultaneously.

If I was to program such functionality (in C++, I don't speak Python), would it 
be standard plugin procedure using QGIS API,or would the display/GUI part of it 
require deep revisions of existing QGIS code?

Regards :-)
