Why should we use MDI in koffice. IMHO MDI is a very bad and windowslike
interface. We shouldn't make the same errors as windows. MDI is confusing. A
few shells are better. You can position then, where you want (even possible in
MDI, I know), but you can position them on different virtual screens (not
possible with MDI), Thats a big advantage of not using MDI.

Larry, that's my personal opinion. I don't know how other KOffice developers
think about it.


Ciao,
Michael
