Hi Gustavo, Applications that support multiple documents in the one process (such as GIMP) are actually MDIs. An example of a true SDI is something like Inkscape or GPDF. If a common save dialogue is implemented in GTK, these pseudo-MDI applications are still free to implement their own application specific widget. The point of adding this would be to replace all the code in SDI applications that have a save confirmation dialogue box with a single GTK call. Removing code from applications like this makes them faster and easier to write, easier to read and maintain, and the binary would be smaller. I don't know how this would affect the GTK binary - whether the save confirmation code would be shared across running applications or loaded once per application.
