qextmdi allready supports some toplevel mode for all views, which look much 
like the "controlled sdi mode" out of our current styleguide. the whole 
window manager stuff can be nicely hidden into qextmdi backend later if done, 
or ? And to enforce SDI as default mode for kdevelop/quanta/kate/... is not 
realistic (looking at how the apps work and what they want to archive and 
last but not least usability wise, 100 opened editor windows while working in 
kdevelop won't be that nice per default, or ?) and not wanted by the devs of 
that apps, or I am wrong here ?
