[PyQt] best practices for MDI app

[Lic. José M. Rodriguez Bacallao]

as dock widgets can only be placed in a main window, can I make an
internal main window as central widget of my main application windows
and then treat dock widgets in the central main window widget as my
display windows? this central main window doesn't have any central
widget at all. is this ok?
