if you put each document in its own window (SDI) you don't need anything.. 
just create multiple main windows as needed. if you want to go the MDI route, 
which makes sense in certain cricumstances, then kmdi is useful, yes.

well, you can have your document class create new KActions and pass those up 
to the main window ... but generally having menus that change entries 
depending on whether or not you have a document open is frowned upon (again, 
there are exceptions). usually the "needs a document" actions are simply 
disabled when there is no document open.

without more information on the type of app you are creating and what sort of 
documents you'd be showing, it's a bit hard to answer this question, however.
