It is work in progress. (In case people like it enough that it makes sense to 
contiue it as an alternative to QextMdi).

At the moment, the best thing is to look at IDEA (www.intellij.com). In IDEA, 
you can make the tabs sticky, so the get a splitter next to the editor. And 
the tabs automatically close when you selected something. (I have added that 
yesterday, but forgot to commit some changes. Now it should work).

The nice thing about the tabs that hide the editor is that you get maximum 
screen space for the editor, which is very usefull on small screens (like my 
laptop ;)

Just a technical question: Can this be done without loosing information on the 
CVS server?

Exactly my opinion.

Great!
