Alex and me talked a bit on IRC and my conclusion is that I don't object
the change, but I'd like to improve the visual style for the case of
having tabs and the tab-navigation buttons (making the buttons flat
already works quite well). Right now the whole thing looks a bit better
with oxygen style (which renders those two arrow-buttons flat) than
Plastique or QtCurve.

And for the tabless mode, this change is really awesome IMHO :)

Andreas, eagerly waiting for the ideas for the bottom status bar....
