I planned an empire/nation screen:
     Contains goverment control. Contains tax rate changes. Contains
     unit info like GTK's unit report. Other reports can also go here.

One click too much.

I'm not sure either.

The drawing of the main map isn't client specific. If other clients
(maybe except the SDL one) can use the tileset so can the FS client.

[snipped a lot of other good points]

They all go in the right direction. Note that I don't want many poping
up dialogs. Lets merge them to screen which contain multiple dialogs
of the current clients.
