Discussion about 3.10.0 development

@mokun Code base has been changed to pre-3.10.0 now.
I noticed a weird problem with the help window not initialising correctly. No idea what and tried in on the official 3.9.0 release and it works fine there. So just keep an eye on it.

The UI config has been bugging me.

I have a laptop that I use for running mars-sim. I usually connect it to an external LCD. Thus a sim session will normally have 2 screens.

However, if I have to take this laptop with me to a friend's house, I obviously won't have the 2nd screen when running mars-sim.

This is where the problem is. When loading an old sim or even running a new sim with just the laptop, it will always attempt to load the settings in uiconfig.xml, which indicated that last time the simulation had 2 monitors.

This causes the big problem since I was unable to gain access to the main window in windows OS.

So we'll need to make the UI config class sensitive and be able to check if the 2nd monitor exists in reality when initializing the simulation. If it doesn't, it will tweak the xml setting to suit the reality of the situation.

Can we do that ?
