In my opinion, it would be the very best to have the tabs both 
moveable _and_ floatable.  To prevent newbies to destroy a window, 
we can add menuitems in the view-menu.  With that, the user can 
reopen a window easily.

I know that there has been a discussion on that.  Maybe it would be 
an option to disable floating by default and add an option to 
enable it?  I assume, our users are not only newbies ...

This would give most flexibility to the user to create the layout he 
wants to have for a particular type of task -- IMHO, the user 
should be able to save this layout, too.
