I think what we need is a KWorkspace class, which will make a program behave 
like either SDI or MDI, according to a KDE-or-app-global option.

Some apps also cooperate better with MDI, and some better with SDI.  For 
example, SDI is great for apps like kword, while MDI may be better for apps 
like Krayon.

However, I'll oppose Kant being included until it can do both MDI and SDI :)
