As titel says.

When cloning vehicles with shared orders they usually share the rest too and changes are not likely to be made between them. (eg.refit, consist, etc)
The guis just clutter the main view and serve no useful purpose in this case. (if someone wants to change something anyway, for whatever reason, he/she can still click the vehicle from the depot ...)

Code below changes the "new vehicle window pops open" behaviour when cloning vehicles with shared orders only.
New vehicle gui still opens when cloning a vehicle normally.
The code affects both cloning from the depot gui and from the vehicle gui.

As the change to make is minor I have posted the code to change instead of a patch ... if needed/prefered I can post one.

Line 144 (as in r21936) in depot_gui.cpp.

- ShowVehicleViewWindow(v);
+ if (!_ctrl_pressed) ShowVehicleViewWindow(v);

Chillcore.

PS: Credits to DJ Nekkid for the idea. In the event you wish to include this into trunk you may credit him instead of me. I only found the sweet spot. ;)
