Re: MDI thing

Hi,

A somewhat annoying implementation dilemma for this thing: you can't
really build a GtkContainer widget from other containers. For example 
if I use notebooks and GtkWindows to write GtkMultiView, the
GtkContainer interface (remove, foreach are some important functions
for example) won't work with the multi view.

So the "child" mentioned in the GtkMultiView API wouldn't be the same
as the "child" for GtkContainer, which is really awful.

Not that reimplementing window/notebook/etc. would be very fun either,
but it's almost necessary to get a nice API for the widget.

Problem for a rainy day.
