In the `x-tabs' branch, creating and switching tabs in the tab-bar is implemented in Lisp in tab-bar.el where tabs can be used for anything. The most useful application of tabs for switching window-configurations is implemented in the separate file tab.el. I think the `gtk-tabs' branch should do something like that. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
