I'd be screaming bloody murder if somebody removed MDI from Opera or my IRC client. I don't see any way of getting the functionality I use without MDI or a complete reimplementation (multiple windows that I can rearrange inside a larger container at will, where the windows can freely overlap). Tabbed interface comes close, but it doesn't let you have side-by-side windows (plus, both MDI applications I use daily also provide a tab bar for the child windows). -- < Jernej Simončič >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > < Contact address: >< jernej simoncic at isg si >
