Perhaps tabs could use C-x <up> and <down>? As somewhat related, tab 
switching in browsers and multi-tab terminal emulators is often bound to 
C-PgUp and C-PgDown. Those bindings are taken, but the directions could 
be reused.

Anyway, I personally like C-x <arrows> sequences for window navigation - 
it's my second choice after M-<arrows>. But it doesn't seem like an 
option, alas.
