Yup, I got to the same page :)

I like the MDI, I guess I'm going for a sort of SolidWorks look.

Non-modal seems to do the trick. I managed to disable the border and it looks 
just like without set_non_modal. Without adding the windows to MainWin I can 
show them with just one call to show(). I just had to tweak my Fl_DragBox 
widget a bit to accommodate the lack of parent window. The only thing that bugs 
me a little is that now the windows can move outside of MainWin. No biggie. 
Thanks for all the help!
