Hi Stefan, I'm using the docking windows framework from www.infonode.net. They have a good demo of what you can do with the framework.
With it you can stack the views together into a series of tabs and generally just drag things around to the location that suits the way you work. Another nice thing is you can undock a window altogether which is nice if you have multiple monitors. Send us some screen shots of the open dialog concept you have.
