You loose that bet. Scribus uses the Qt library which is based on Carbon on
OSX
(and the latest Qt version might even be based on Cocoa IIRC).

We will probably drop the multiple documents interface (MDI) for all
platforms in the next Scribus version.
I myself always use a single maximized child window inside the Scribus
window anyway.
