This can almost be a religious issue for some people. The common opinion in 
the Unix world is that the MDI model is wrong, to the extent that the KDE 
style guide says not to do it. My opinion is that MDI is like HTML frames. 
They need to be done very well or they suck. I don't like the typical MDI 
that Windows uses.

But let John finish Krayon first. In the meantime, creating some mockups of 
an appropriate interface would be worthwhile.
