  I think we were talking about tabbed MDI here.  That document doesn't talk 
about tabbed MDI.  Furthermore, I think it is somewhat inappropriate to 
declare some of the things that are declared in that document.  It is rather 
sweeping and arbitrary in some respects.  Anyways, I'm not interested in 
discussing that topic right now.

   After finally getting rid of my need for screen(1), no-one will take away 
my tab-mdi konsole, konqueror, ksirc.

   Oh and one last thing, I believe that konqueror views are an example of 
non-tabbed MDI and that has been in KDE since 2.0 days at least.  I forget if 
it was in 1.x.
