Development on the Gtk+ version of SWF has effectively stopped. SWF is
not a very good abstraction over the native windows APIs, so it would
have been very very difficult to ever get a working version. Instead,
development is progressing nicely on an implementation of SWF using
WINElib. which is a free implementation of the win32 APIs. You can find
more info at http://www.go-mono.org/winforms.html .

Incidentally, if the Gtk+ version *were* still be developed, I can't
think of any technical reason why WiW (window-in-window) MDI would have
to be excluded. One could still write a custom widget (either directly
in C#, or using Gtk#) to do WiW MDI. It would probably be a non-trivial
hack though.
