Description

In order to simplify saving the state of MDI and its children, the GnomeMDI interface provides a function that saves its layout and the state of its children (provided by each child through get_config_string virtual function defined in GnomeMDIChild subclasses) and a function that restores a previously saved state, recreating the children from their configuration strings using a function provided by the programmer.

gnome_mdi_restore_state ()

gboolean    gnome_mdi_restore_state         (GnomeMDI *mdi,

                                             GnomeMDIChildCreator child_create_func);

`section` :	Name of the section to restore MDI state from.
`child_create_func` :
Returns :	TRUE if state was successfully restored, FALSE otherwise.
