The GNOME community has chosen to abandon the MDI concept and I do agree
with that. "One window for every document" is easier to use and doesn't
force the user to think about the "type" of a file (why do two totally
unrelated text documents share one window, while a related image has its own
window?)
However, you said you have multiple views of the same data (so, basically
that is one document), so having them in the same window seems appropriate
here. Personally, I'd suggest a tabbed view panel or a...
View -> View A
[x] View B
View C
...menu item to switch views.
Good luck!
