Yeah, I think it's limited to a single window. GLUT is a better fitfor multiple windows but sadly its input handling is less than stellar:/
There still are remains of the old GLUT backend there, I suppose itmight work with some tweaking. Another possibility would be to write aGTK/QT backend to manage the input and provide OpenGL context. Mightbe a worthwhile goal to pursue for the next version..
