I'm surprised this isn't in the FAQ (or just GTK+ FAQ), but: GTK+ does
not have support for MDI applications, builtin. Maybe there are addon
libraries that provide it.

Personally, and I think most people on this list would, I've come to
see this as a non-issue -- I really haven't had any use, ever, for
MDI; and I used to always get annoyed at MDI applications in the past
(I don't think I've had to deal with one lately).

One workaround might be to use a tabbed interface rather than
classical MDI. Depends on what your purpose was.
