Hmm...well. It seems to me your patch is a little bit hackish.

My advise:
In Gideon's code, before calling QextMdiMainFrm::addWindow(), set one of 
the editor views to be the active MDI view (likely by calling 
QextMdiChildView::activate()). Then a newly added MDI view will be 
docked to the tab pages.
So probably your patch to QextMDI would be necessary.
