If you supply the GnomeUIInfo template, MDI sadly uses
gnome_app_create_menus() function, but if you'd like to use
gnome_app_create_menus_custom() or even some other method of menu
creation, make sure you don't supply it any GnomeUIInfo and use
create_menus signal instead. See conditionaly compiled (#ifndef
USE_APP_HELPER) code in gnome-hello-7-mdi.c for an example of this. Of
course it would be trivial to put another member in MDI for
UIBuilderData and add another function for setting it, but I'd prefer to
keep code leaner.

yes, I've been aware of it. perhaps it really should use pid. how do I
get my process's pid?
