Reiner pointed out an issue where the draw window was unresponsive when multiple draw windows are used. Note the first draw window is intentionally unresponsive when a second window is open. This is because papco only has one active state, and to switch back and forth between windows automatically would require tracking window entry and exit events, which has shown to be non-trivial.

One issues was there's no feedback to the user that the first window is intentionally unresponsive, and that a second window is open.

The second issue is that when the second window is closed, the first window should be responsive again. This supports having an overview plot in the first window, and then a second window is used to peek at details.

    The feedback is improved (on unix, untested on windows) to indicate that the window is not active, by using the ugly cursor (spider).

    Further, a bug where the papco "plotsDrawn" state is not properly stored before leaving the window is fixed.
