I haven't seen that code in some time. Is it possible to just set them as
hidden when the transaction does not match?

IIRC, the widgets are copied from tab to tab, right?
What if we kept the same set of widgets, and called reparent to change them
to the active tab? Would that work?

Also, I think we have a usability problem here. The tabs are actually used
for a function that could be performed by a radio button (selecting the type
of transaction)

Just my 2 cents.
