As I said before, at the moment, it is impossible to use the Workspace control 
to make a MDI Gambas IDE, because this control has some flaws in its design.

The many windows Gambas open is not really a problem when you use multiple 
desktops. For example, I have one desktop for The Gimp, and one for 
Gambas ;-)

There are three possibilities in the future:

1) Trolltech rewrites its QWorkspace widget, which the Workspace control is 
based on, and I can use it to write a MDI IDE.

2) I rewrite the QWorkspace widget. But it will take some time!

3) I make a KMail-like interface for the IDE.

Personnaly, I prefer programming the third solution :-)
