This is an importent fact for me. I don't believe anybody is using the 
current version of kuml for doing serious work. Loading and saving models 
using the old IO subsystem is buggy and without the possibility to restore 
models nobody will spend time to create them.

I suggest to make a last tarred snapshot available that will be compilable 
for both KDE1 and KDE2. After that we can switch completly to KDE2.
In two weeks, at the end of the this month I want to update the website and 
than I also make up the snapshot.

I must confess that I haven't thought so far as you all do. When I think on 
the arguments against MDI I see that it's an disadvantange to lock up child 
windows in an isolating top level widget.

After all I think the support for MDI is dead now.
