Are you sure it's IDL that's causing the problem (i.e., has RSI
acknowledged it as such?). If not, it would be nice to hear details
about the platforms/graphics cards etc... and whether everyone
has problems...

Yuck - fraud!
I would complain bitterly to RSI about this. *One* prompt, *one*
licence.
No mucking about...after all, its *one* process. There might be some
mumbo-
jumbo in the licence agreement on running "on one screen", but that's a
matter of interpretation on what exactly is meant by "one screen".

Well, IDL starts costing three times as much....
