Jup, that looks OK I think. Now, if you could add some icons to the tabs that 
would be even better. "office-chart-area-stacked" for the stacked diagram, and 
"kgraphviewer" for the callgraph tab. For the document tabs we can simply use 
"unknown" or maybe "application-vnd.oasis.opendocument.chart". Otherwise try 
out "kdialog --geticon blub" and look at the icons to find something you think 
could fit.

Thanks for working on this!
