#1019: winGRASS: 'layer manager' window hidden by 'mapdisplay' windows
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: neteler | Owner: grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4.0
Component: wxGUI | Version: svn-releasebranch64
Keywords: wingrass | Platform: MSWindows 7
Cpu: Unspecified |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
The stacking order of the 'layer manager' window and the 'map display'
windows are suboptimal: Currently on XP, Windows7 (more?) the wxGUI opens
and the layer manager window is in the background which the empty map
display overlaying it and hiding the menu.

Idea: Perhaps the map display could be opened, then sleep some
nanoseconds,
then open the menu to enforce it to open '''over''' (after) the empty map
display?
