We get KDE and qt via cvsup. Basically you have a call

cvsup kde.cvsup

which will get the most resent version directly out of CVS. This is
preffered over all other methods since you don't have to grab a whole
snapshot but it will only get the diffs. Below is my cvsup file

This most recent version worked for me, at least qt-copy, desupport and
kdelibs you need.

For qt-copy:
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure -gif -sm
make

all others the normal way.

In qt there is a MDI example where you _can_ tile and cascade widgets. I
don't know if the programmed it thereselfs or if it is part of
QWorkspace. Maybe we should look at the example code.

Hope this helps...
