Simple answer: you can't. The MDI settings only affect the main window,
which is the account list and any reports. Registers will always be in a
separate window. The same will also apply in 1.8.

The conversion to Gnome 2.0 will give us an opportunity to revisit this.
I'm hoping we can make this possible as a part of the conversion process
(but since I won't be doing the coding, its not really up to me).
