Hi Christophe Prud'homme,

PLEASE don't use MDI in a way like e.g. Opera. I have a huge desktop. Why
will you force my document-views in a single application window? KDE has a
system window management tool (called taskbar ;-) Why will you manage your
app-views by your own?
MDI is a very very BAD design!

Please go over to

http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/basics/windows.html

and read the KDE style guides and change your mind!

Thank you!
