I think the "best" solution for the Gideon GUI would be:

1) droping the KEditor interface in Gideon (as suggested by Matthias) and 
using KTextEditor::Document (and the subinterfaces) and KTextEditor::View 
from the kdelibs.The nedit plugin and the simple editor (for testing) need a 
new implementation, but I think this isn't on the top of the priority list.

2) using QDockWindow for docking the treeview and outputview area (docking 
support is already available in QMainWindow so this shoudn't be a problem)

3) using QExtMDI for the document/view managing (editor,docbrowser,custom 
plugin views). 

Can we agree on this?

Ciao!
