I've expressed that same sentiment several times in this thread.  That's 
why I keep asking for supporters of MDI to suggest a replacement for the 
old "KDE does not use MDI" policy, one that we can apply in KDE 
consistently.  I suggested a start of one, but got little feedback on it 
yet.

"MDI should not appear in KDE without explicit user intervention to
turn it on."

Can you suggest one?
