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. Doing window configuration switch as fast as we can helps, but it still isn't good. Workable, but not good.This isn't necessary, is it?
What is "this"?
I'm sure that GTK+ tabs can govern (switch) an area that isn't a top-most window.
Well, yes, that is what it is doing. It isn't a top-most window.
Then, if we want to, we can just make the "content" part of that area have 0 size (so that the user-visible line of tabs is in fact the whole area they control) and merely react to the tab switch events however we want.
I haven't tried it. However, stuff like putting tabs at the bottom would then not work well.
