KDevelop 3.0 has an SDI option ("Toplevel Window Mode"), although to be fair, 
it doesn't actually seem to work :-) Probably needs an SDI-enthusiast to fix

option -- you could take a look at that to see how an app handles it.
To be honest I hadn't realised MDI was such a Bad Thing. I must stop using C-x 
2 in emacs and use C-x 5 2 instead...
