    - It does not show colors unless the user has "set hidden" in his
      .vimrc file

    - It prompts the user to "Press ENTER" every time it runs.

This patch fixes both issues and, in adition:

  - Unifies the previously "special" case where LAYOUT contained one single tab
    with one single window.

  - Fixes colors in tabs with just one window.
