Dear Giorgio,
with no better option at hand, i am at present doing something similar
to waht you have suggested. But it would preferable if SCROLLWINDOW
itself could be tweaked a bit to do just that.

This could work:
Within your program, you can check if w1 is defined and then if it is
not call scrollwindow, if it is defined just wset, w1.
IF N_Elements(w1) EQ 0 THEN scrollwindow, x, y, wid = w1 ELSE wset, w1
