You cannot force SDI on people though. We've tried to make that the preferred 
KDE behavior for years, but that didn't prevent the rise of tabs.

We can either decide to refuse MDI alltogether (and revert a whole lot of 
tabbing code) or accept MDI and extend the KDE core (I do agree that viewport 
management is probably best handled within the window manager, but I'm not 
sure if the netwm specs says) to handle it properly, or at least more 
properly than 4 different implementations would.
