To make a perfect imitation of MS Visual C++, it's also necessary to
give that MDI look and style, I think.

Of course it should be possible to choose between top level widgets and
MDI child windows (to satisfy MS-MDI fans and X desktop fans).

Well, and if you want a start for a MDI implementation, you can take a
look at:
    http://www.kvirc.org !
It's a free (GPL) application what has got full MDI functionality. You
can download the source there. The MDI classes are KviMdiChild,
KviMdiManager, KviMdiCaption, KviMdiCaptionButton (and if you want to
enable docking top level windows or undocking MDI Child windows, you can
additionally use KviFrame and KviWindow).
The pretty cool thing is that the user can decide whether to use "MS
Windows MDI style" or "X desktop style" using the dock/undock feature.
AFAIK, the whole stuff depends only on Qt.

Keep on programming Qt!
