[MonoDevelop] Questions about MDI

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi Neil,

First as someone said, MD just exposes the GUI toolkit, that it also
uses, called GTK+, and wrapped for managed languages as GTK#.

Anyway, AFAIK, it is by design that GTK+ doesn't offer a MDI feature
(meaning a desktop-like space inside a window with overlapped child
windows and also iconized child windows).

The GTK+ developers think that MDI is a flawed concept and offer
alternatives, like tabbed and adjustable-split layouts, that MD itself
uses.

Regards,
