Dont forget kate too, although they try to make it look more like emacs'
multiple buffer thing, but it's really all the same.

Not only would it be nice to merge the code, but to get a consistent style as
well. Maybe the proper discussion should be on a style guideline for MDI,
especially from the people that use it. Maybe we could even get some
integration with kwin and consider them sub-"windows" with respect to
application-name/icon/window-switching (I really miss alt-tab switching when
using MDI, which is why I dont normally use it)
