I must mention Galeon. It does NOT use GnomeMDI, but uses multiple
tabs/windows in it's own way. So Galeon hackers hould be contacted to
know the reasons why they did not used GnomeMDI and what better solution
they can suggest.

Galeon also has Docked history and bookmarks (i.e. they can be separate
windows, but can be part of main window), similarly as Evolution has
Folder bar. Don't know this relates to MDI, but is a useful feature
which every app implements by itself and they look diferently (Sodipodi
and Anjuta comes to mind besides abovementioned two).
