"""
This is a rough Python translation of the ideas presented in this KMDI tutorial:

    http://web.tiscali.it/andreabergia/tdemditutorial.html

What does work:

    IDEAlMode - yay!

    Adding and closing child views

    Two-way syncing between a tool widget and a matching child view

All is not rosy, however:

    Instances of the KmdiExample maintain a dictionary of child views.  Values
    cannot be deleted from this dictionary during a window close (causes an
    immediate segfault).

    Child views created after initialization aren't numbered correctly; given
    the first problem, it's harder to do this than it's really worth.

    The example segfaults at shutdown if the tool (on the left) is is open but
    is not in overlap-mode.
