ah, ok. I don't see for what is this useful.
maybe your window manager can do this.

why?
actually, if a sequence-window is already open, and I go to the main 
window, click the sequence-menu -> edit, nothing happens!

if I want to find that window, I can search with alt+tab, or close ALL 
the windows and open the one I want.
one of these two features is missing in the sotware:
* a "close all windows" command?
* clicking "sequence->edit" would bring sequence window to top, if 
already open.

I would prefer the second way (or both :D)

ok!
this makes me think to "SDI mode".... I would click edit always with 
META down, so I can place main window on top of the screen and have the 
edit window below.

maybe some user would benefit of this behavior.

I don't understand the sense of this point.
the problem is: I have 32 sequencer windows open. I look at the main 
window, and want to edit one. it's hard to find because edit won't bring 
the window to top.
how would you resolve this problem?
