Re: MDI In Gtk

[John Cupitt ng-london org uk]

Hi, I think the best available is gnome-mdi

   http://developer.gnome.org/arch/widgets/mdi.html

The problem is that there's no standard window look and feel, it varies with
the 
user's environment. What would your app look like if a KDE user ran it, for 
example? Plus many people dislike MDI, so there's been little effort to make
one 
that works inthe same way as windows. In case you've not seen the arguments:

You'll probably be better off switching to multiple top-level windows (if
you can).
