Review request for Okular.


Changes
-------

Okay, I simplified the tab related features. No DBus changes, no cmdline interface changes (multiple arguments opens multiple windows), no close warnings.

Repository: okular


Description
-------

This patch adds support for a tabbed interface (multiple documents in one window). The core work just adds a tab bar that switches between multiple embedded okularparts, but there are many other considerations:
 - Tab context menu allows for duplicating or detaching (detached tabs start in new okular process)
 - `okular file.pdf` will open file in existing window if possible, unless --new flag is used. It also selects the most recently raised/activated window to use. This mirrors behavior I expect from browsers and other tabbed interfaces.
 - Warns when closing window with multiple tabs
 - No warning is given when opening an already open file. This is the behavior I strongly prefer (and observe in other programs), but will change if there is consensus otherwise.

When selecting different tools in one part, the tool selection propagates to all parts, but the GUI does not reflect that. This bug is present in other programs (e.g. multiple okularparts in Konqueror), so I made no attempt to diagnose or fix.

One menu item was added for the multiple tab warning option. When testing this, I noticed that items in the Settings menu seem to move around when switching tabs, and I cannot diagnose or fix this. It seems to be related to XMLGUI bug #64754. 

My development branch is also hosted at https://github.com/jrmrjnck/okular-tabbed
