i'm not sure on the specifics, but i imagine zooming / rotating / etc
only modifies the /camera/ of that particular interactor. therefore the
other windows (which, presumably, use different interactors) would have
no way of knowing that you zoomed / did some other operation (as the
data are not modified, only the camera for that particular window).

in short, i dont think zooming will modify the 'Extent' of your data;
if they fall outside the viewing area they would probably be clipped at
the mapping stage, i think.

if you want a zoom in one window to change the viewpoint in another,
you can hook up some controls to that windows' input method[s] and in
those control methods you can propagate the appropriate calls to other
windows. i have never done this, but have heard about it being done
many times on the mailing list so I imagine it shouldnt be too hard to
figure out.

HTH,
