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

[Michael Phipps]

I like the proposal below, as a proposal. It is "Thinking Different". :-D

I don't like rotated text, either. I would rather have it
r
u
n

i
n
g

d
o
w

the tab... The biggest issue with tabs is that they are information 
overload and by the time the dev is using vertical tabs, the app is 
horrifically bloated anyway. :-D

I like the idea of auto-handling of tabs - I would use that all the time 
for terminal sessions. Very handy.
I don't know why I would ever want to stick and fuse windows together.
