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

[Jonathan Thompson]

Keep in mind that not everyone processes information in the same manner: 
some people do equally well with text and icons, while others do well 
with icons, but have a hard time with text, and some do well with text, 
but have a hard time with icons: icons tend to typically leave me 
confused and unable to recognize things as quickly for some reason.  
Thus, it's better to have the ability to cater to user's information 
processing strengths.

And I'm one of those people that tends to have a large number of windows 
open, to where one of my biggest BeOS complaints is the App_Server 
thread limit and how it (mal)functions when the limit is reached :P
