it requires hacking on gnome-mdi-session.c; actually,
gnome_mdi_add_toplevel_view() can't be used in restore_window_child()
anymore as it uses gnome_mdi_open_toplevel(), which in turn
gtk_widget_show()s the new GnomeApp immediately (I suppose this is what
bothers you). a static routine doing exactly what
gnome_mdi_add_toplevel_view() does, but without showing the GnomeApp
should be added to gnome-mdi-session.c and used in
restore_window_child(). I'll try this out tomorrow. I suppose such a
patch could be applied to both HEAD and stable.
