Most Unix developers feel that MDI (one big window with other 
windows inside it) sucks. I disagree, and like MDI better for 
most things (and so will many of the VB programmers who will 
eventually take up coding in Gambas.) I made an MDI hack of an 
older Gambas version, no docking or anything, just the project 
explorer on the left and all other windows in an MDI workspace 
on the right, but I haven't maintained it. Feel free to search 
back on my website http://www.kudla.org and bring it up to date 
if you have time ;)

In the meantime, one VB programmer I know who uses Gambas now 
puts his Gambas session in a separate virtual desktop so he can 
switch to it using the pager and treat that one virtual desktop 
as if it's an MDI. It still has all those entries in the taskbar 
but at least it seems less cluttered. That might be worth a try 
if you can't get my MDI changes to work in recent Gambas 
versions.
