A very good idea, get rid of all the clutter.  What does GTK's unit
report show?  Is it differnt to the military report?

True.  Not that it's any quicker at the moment.  No, seperate buttons
is the way to go.  I'll look into it.

Maybe just one large dialog window that covers the whole map view but
has clickable tabs (not sure what the proper name for these are) that
allows access to all the major dialogs.  Kind of like how the city
dialog is now (unless it's different in GTK?).  Each time the dialog
is called it appears with the relevent 'page' displayed.  Saves on
opening and closing dialogs all the time, all you are doing is
switching between dialog view and map view.
