[UPDATE] I am currently working on an openframeworks branch that includes the functionality of ofxFenster in the OF core. It is not as advanced as ofxFenster yet but is already usable on mac & linux. Check it out here: https://github.com/underdoeg/openFrameworks/tree/multiwindow
ofxFenster simplifies the cross platform handling of multiple windows within a single openframeworks app. It is an addon for openframeworks 0.07 built on top of a modified version of blenders window manager "ghost". The current state is stable and more or less production ready.
It should work on linux, mac and windows. Linux and mac should run fine, windows version does compile, but gets only occasional updates.
See this thread for more details: http://forum.openframeworks.cc/index.php/topic,6499.0.html
Or visit the generated docs: http://ofxfenster.undef.ch/docs/index.html
