I don't get that over here, for me it works just as excpected.  Maybe its 
something else thats causing the problem.  However, I do have a build from 
about a week and a half a ago (except for konqueror which is new).

Great work, I think it looks really good personally!  And I think having it 
the same as KWin is a good idea too.  One question, what happens when the tab 
bar gets too wide, does it play well with those little scroll arrow thingies?

I think this is the best way to do it.  I've used it a lot on mozilla and I've 
always liked it.
