For the record : MDI can't possibly be implemented sanely with a
view->setDocument() scheme, because :
- either we have "real" MDI, e.g. tabs like in Konq. Each tabs *have* to have
different widgets as children, so we have to have several views anyway.
- or we make it so that the only way to switch between documents is through a
menu, but then the scheme would actually be too slow, because we'd still have
to recreate some parts of the widgets somehow. The only way to do this in a
responsive manner is what Rich did : create the view in the background (and
then keep it, rather than delete it) so you can hide() one and show() the
other (using a QWidgetStack for instance).
