I object - at last I can't envision a case where running the UI inside
a separate window in front of a (full-screen) viewer is inferior to an
in-window UI. All supported window systems provide the required
information on screen/window-geometry or -placement to position a
separate UI-window wherever you like.
For the die-hards just think of a menu bar positioned in front of the
upper left corner of the viewer-screen or -window having just very thin
borders. From my perspective that's a pretty appealing approach
because running the UI outside the viewer and probably/hopefully
outside the main program could lead to a consistent management-/
control-interface in FlightGear.
Cheers,
Martin.
