Hi,
I think the API of KMdi of kdelibs is stable now. And the library works well
here on KDE-3.1 as well, also with old Gideon IDEAl style. I don't plan to
invest more work on KMdi in the next few months. The only thing that needs to
be done is to backport kmultitabbar.h/cpp from kdevelop/lib/qextmdi to
kdelibs/kutils of HEAD, to have the old Gideon IDEAl style on KDE-3.2 too, but in a
way that the Konqueror UI still works well. But I don't have KDE-3.2. So
sorry, I can't do that.

Cheers
F at lk

P.S.: I don't support the idea of dropping KDE-3.1 support but it's OK with
me, so I will stay on the old KDevelop-3 checkout for my 3.1.
