[ge-talk] title tabs...what to do with them?

[Ari Haviv]

Well, if every title had an icon like in Windows, it could actually work for
me without driving me nuts (I went crazy after trying some kde apps that use
vertical tabs everywhere) . Another problem with the tabs is that title
length is arbitrary and sometimes very long.  But with icons you can get a
small maximum length for the inactive tabs.

How would you move the tabs all around?

The thing is that you can end up spending a lot of time just moving the tabs
into place .....what's the point of that...so I'm hoping for a more
automatic solution
