yes, this is nice and it would deffinitely alleviate the debate. it's a lot 
more work to do this, of course, and not every application lends itself to 
MDI so it wouldn't become a standard item.

as for evolution being MDI, there is kaplan that will most likely make it into 
the 3.2 release that allows multiple email/PIM components to come together. 
this isn't done by MDI, however, but via the KParts application merging 
technology.

turn off the clipboard syncing in klipper, then. this misfeature is there to 
allow those who prefer the broken clipboard of KDE1/2 to keep it. the 
clipboard in KDE3 handles these situations properly, as long as you turn off 
klipper's legacy mode syncing.
