Do you mean on the glyph (a.ka. redisplay) level or by the actual 
drawing done by for example X?  I don't think this can be done simply at 
the lisp level.  The overflow for the tool bar, and highlightning needs 
to handle text and image as one.  How do you deal with that in your 
tabs?  The tool bar display code is kind of hardwired in C anyway.

That is the RtoL version, both-horiz for Gtk+ has the icon to the left 
of the text, i.e. opposite of what a tab bar has.
