following John L.'s design rationale that the most important things
should come first, I suggest moving "new/close window" to the very
bottom of menu "file", clearly separated by a, well, separator. Any
objections?
How I think things should work:
* Create a new window for each open document
* Add a Window menu to switch between the windows (instead of the
entries in the View menu)
* Add a "New Window" option to the Window menu to create a new view of
the current document, which allows you to edit multiple locations in the
same document at once
* Allow only one LyX instance at a time
* Clicking the LyX icon when LyX is already running should create a new
empty document in the current instance
This is consistent with all standard office applications. We should
avoid a situation where one can have multiple instances, each with
multiple windows. Otherwise it becomes very confusing and it will be
impossible to tell which windows share the same data, which results in
data-loss because of saving the wrong versions.
