No. The output window should pop up again - and it works on our
systems. The magic is in the procedure `write' in tkined/apps/library.
A check is being made whether the $log window exists. If not, a new
one is created. This is where you may want to start searching for the
reason why it does not work for you.

The output window automatically appears when something is written to
it, not when a tool is selected.
