After fighting some more with QSplitter, I have another thought about KMultiPanner...
;)

My English is very bad. What's rubber band ?

I wanted to ask you : is there any way to remove this limitation ?
QSplitter is very annoying because of that, and if there is a way to make
KMultiPanner add children at any position, that would be great.

BTW, anyone knows who's working on KSplitter ? I heard something like that
on kde-devel, but no name was given, IIRC.

In fact, I still don't think we need the complexity of KMultiPanner - the
user interface for splitters already includes lots of options (add row,
delete view, ...), the one for KMultiPanner would include far too much IMHO.
But on the other hand, what we need is a full-featured splitter, be it
a future QSplitter, the vaporware KSplitter, or a modified version of KMultiPanner.
