You guys seem to think that tabs are just extra buttons to be pressed.
In Gtk+ they are not. When you press on a tab an whole new Gtk widget
(with associated X window) covering the whole frame is switched in. So
the old contents is not shown.
This I think is why I liked the idea of whole-emacs-frames being "in"
gtk tab notebooks rather than vice-versa. So what are the tab notebooks
"in" from the emacs perspective? It doesn't matter, some sort of
transient thingy created and destructed on demand - doesn't really need
to be visible to the emacs lisp side, since the x11-level window manager
plus the outer gtk notebook layer is acting as the "window manager"
level layer to emacs frames.
OTOH - can one fudge a gtk notebook with funny dimensions and catch
the tab change event? i.e. rather than putting the old contents "truly"
in the tab notebook

fake it with a zero-sized content of each tab, and just put the contents
next to it?

There might be fugliness problems, of course.
