Yes, QT is able to do that. However, looks like GTK+ supports only tabs as MDI
children, which is not working for my needs.

Yes, reason explained above. I'm using wxWidgets library, which is based on GTK+.
So, is it possible to do that based on the X only interface?
If so, where can I find the doc to such classes/functions?
Besides, I do think that QT has to call some X functions/classes to implement
such API....

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Disregard that. Turns out, I can't send anything to the list if I'm not a subscriber....

Thank you.
