Both of them. But more the pager because it's closer to the current
stuff and that's why easier to implement. The panner could probably
bring troubles with the current class design. But also a pager with a
big or with several desktops is a lot of work and could make it all a
little complicated. But why not a choise.

Yep, but better as child widget in KDevelop.

Supi! Well, currently you must live with the source code only.
Documentation comes when the class design is standing firm.
But it's quite intuitive. Just try to debug the example application and
see where some methods go and how they call each other. That's what I
did as I took it out of kvirc.

Yes, in the kdevelop2 snapshot. The taskbar below the MDI area. I
thought you already had seen it.

Mmh. That could be a solution. Well, but I wanted to avoid wasting
window space. But if the window taskbar is so much unclear...

It's only one button for Undock. I think it's less than a menu bar.

Anyone has wrecked the snapshot CVS tree. Ignore it, nevertheless it
should work.

The bits were getting smaller. (joke of the week)
