Note that you can use plain C interfaces if you want; you can even mix
them with usage of the C++ bindings most of the time. For example if
you want MDI as you mention, you could just use the C interface for
now.

Inti should appear in stable form around the same time as the next GTK+.
I'm not currently planning to provide GNOME support though, since
gnome-libs 2.0 is up in the air and I want to keep things simple for
the first release.

I think Karl is just overworked, and could use contributions. Since
you need the MDI, maybe you could do that as part of writing your app?
