Re: Can GTK+ create a GtkWindow in a GtkWindow?

["John Hobbs" <john velvetcache org>]

If you want MDI use the Notebook widget.  But be aware of what you are doing, from the gnome HIG document [1] "MDI has several inherent usability problems, so its use is discouraged in applications."

Additionally there is this: http://developer.gnome.org/arch/widgets/mdi.html but it looks dead.

Sorry if I sound like a downer, I don't mean to be :-)

I think that he is talking about MDI.

I havent seen that in any other gtk-application yet, also is not very useful.
