  KMDI is so unbelievably buggy that I don't know how we can continue to use 
it in its current form.  It's driving me crazy with Kst, and I just don't 
have cycles to fix it, if that's even really possible in a BC way.

  No ideas on what other options are like, but I know that KMDI should not be 
the KDE4 solution.
