OK.

Don't agree. HIG states all windows has to fit into 800x600 window.
Attaching later image of Amarok: 710x562 pixels. We are interested in
height. 562 pixels (to compensate for menu- and title-bar). All six tabs
available in Amarok are visible. One is slightly shortened. With
TimeLine there is 5 tabs + one for searches is 6. The same as Amarok.
And minimal size for application like digiKam is really rare corner
case. I could bet most users are working with digiKam in max size where
full sized tabs will shine.

Look into second screenshot. Amarok in maximized window and the same six
tabs are taking full advantage of this situation.

When all tabs aren't visible this has no sense. Expanded tab has caption
and this is enough for recognition. Highlighting is necessary with all
captions visible to highlight ;) expanded tab.
