I think the MDI functionality is a useful option to have, but even
without that it serves as a way to see if ImageJ can converted be to use
Swing. JInternalFrames can be made JFrames with relative ease and the
MDI interface could be an option. There are still a few problems with
converting TextWindows and the Editor etc. that  need to be sorted out,
but ultimately switching to Swing is a good idea, especially with the
upcoming java 6.0.
