I really love NetCaptors or Operas MDI-Interface and I really hate the SDI of
Netscape/Mozilla or IE. Would be so great to implement the possibility to run
all browser windows in on instance of the programm with tabs somewhere on the
screen. BTW: Who needs more then one instance of Mozilla Mail?

Severity: normal → enhancement
Personally I dumped Opera after 5 minutes because of that interface.
Likewise with StarOffice.
But anyway: this is not a bug but an enhancement request.
Modifying severity.
similar to 59126 - reporter, do you agree?
MDI makes it difficult to use a windowing system efficiently. MDI makes
interapplication drag&drop unfeasible.

Taking, but this is very low priority, so if anyone else comes up with something
first, go for it.

What this bug is about if it's not a dupe of bug 59126? Is it about making tabs
tileable/cascadable? Is it the same as bug 269942?
It's about classic MDI... tilable and cascadable sub-windows, and has nothing to
do with tabs.
Priority: P3 → P5
konqueror tab detaching experience could be a good reference
