mdi on gtk (again)

[Riccardo Cohen]

Hi
I use wx2.9 on Ubuntu and it is really a pleasure.
I'm porting an mdi application that already work on mac and windows.
I've read on the list archives that mdi is not implemented on gtk, I 
understand this very well. The mdi parent behave like a notebook, this 
seems strange to me.

On mac mdi is not in the apple API also, but the wxWidgets choice was to 
build the child windows on the root, so you can see all children 
together. This is important for me because the child windows are not all 
documents. There are documents, graphic output, and spreadsheet... So 
seeing only once at a time is not convenient for my app.

I wonder why this is not the wx choice on gtk, it would be great to have 
the same behavior. (there would be some trouble with menus, but at least 
all windows would be visible)

I found many people complaining about that behaviour, and I wonder if it 
would be difficult to change it for a mac behaviour ?
Thanks
