Re: CDE behavior and PilotManager

[Jim Koelkebeck <Jim.Koelkebeck@East>]

What I have seen is the status window (not the main log window) is repeatedly
"closed" and "opened" for each step in the sync'ing process.  Each time the
window is created, it will create itself in the current workspace (aka 'quadrant'
for those with four workspaces), the rest of PilotManager gets dragged in to
that workspace along with it.

The fix (I 'guess') would be to reuse the status window instead of recreating it.
