Sounds very good, except if you make koffice rely on it (see koffice-devel) ;-)

The problem is the base class is a big one though. Either we'll have to
write one multi-view class per type of part (Part, ROP, RWP), or to limit
the possibilities :(( Argl.
What about adding this behaviour to Part itself, kinda of a "default multi-view mode",
already reimplemented by KOffice ? AFAICS this could be done in a compatible
way: either setWidget is called, and we are in single-view mode, or
addView/removeView are called, and we are in multi-view mode
(and maybe widget() should return the first view, in case of embedding
in a single-view environment, e.g. konqueror).
