Aaron also recently added a tabbed interface [1] to the Quantumnik  
plugin [2]. In this plugin two tabs/mapCanvases are created (within  
the same application window), one that renders layers normally using  
the Qt renderer and another that uses Mapnik as the renderer, but more  
tabs are possible. It does not allow splitting across monitors, but  
that would be cool :)
