The IDL I propose is 

  typedef enum { above, below, left, right } NewViewPosition;

  interface MainView : OpenParts::Part
  {
    // Position is relative to activeView(); above and below create a new row
    void insertView( in View view, in NewViewPosition newViewPosition);

...

In fact, the UI can be anything with that...
And if somebody write a KMultiPanner, the IDL can almost remain unchanged,
hopefully.
