And incidentally, you don't put a GnomeApp widget into GnomeMDI.  You
would add the *contents* of the GnomeApp instead.  As you change MDI
modes, the GnomeMDI object will create/destroy GnomeApp's around the
child widgets, as needed.  For example, you only need one GnomeApp for a
notebook view, but multiple GnomeApp's (one per child) for the toplevel
view.  GnomeMDI takes care of this transparently, though, so you should
never need to directly touch a GnomeApp widget in a GnomeMDI
application.
