Hi Benjamin,

I've recently had to look at that code and I also think that it should be
improved not only because it would be easier to maintain, but because it
would make a few features I want to implement (and probably lots more that
will be implemented in the future) easier and less hackish.
I was thinking in ways to improve it and I had the intention to do it myself
soon, but I never thought of removing the tab widget. Why would we want to
do that? AFAIK the tab widget is perfect to handle the tabs. We currently
have some limitations but I think it's our implementation's fault rather
than the tab widget's.
