Well, an MDI version of the IDE is one of the most frequently 
requested features, and while I'm still surprised Benoit did it 
(I figured I'd have to do a Fakebas 2.0 eventually) I guess it's 
no surprise that some people prefer the GIMP model.

I had hoped to do that with Fakebas and I hope it's also possible 
with the official MDI IDE.  But don't forget that this IDE is 
going to be replaced before 2.0 regardless of what it looks 
like.
