Dont we have this already in "winner" or "winring" or some of the
existing window configuration packages?

IMHO tabs should just be buttons that generate events that by default
are bound to activating a particular window configuration.

Then again, window configurations could be further enhanced by
finishing one of the "window group" proposals discussed some time
ago on this list, but that nots necesary for tabs.
