[GNC] Startup issue - two windows

In the Gnome desktop and, I think, most other Linux desktops, using
Alt-Tab, Super-Tab or just the Super key alone gives a means to navigate
around all the open windows on your computer.  I only have one display
monitor active, so I am not sure how that behavior is modified for
multi-display users.
