It would be less nice because some issues need to be fixed yet:
* When the width of a window tab in a stack changes, there is still a
drawing glitch

That's not so bad, is it? It's more annoying than anything else...

When closing a window, you can end up with its tab still visible, which
is very confusing.


* There is no context menu on window tabs. Terminal tabs have an "edit
title" feature we would need to move elsewhere (currently it's double
click on the tab)

I'll move it to the "Settings" menu.

It's already there in some way ("window title"). It fits with the current
convention that the settings directly in the menu are volatile, while
the ones in the settings window are persistent. ok then.


* Window tabs take more space than terminal tabs (because of the icons
and "Terminal:" text in them, limiting the number of tabs you can have
open and still see what you're doing (also the Deskbar still isn't
trimming the app name from deskbar entries)

The "Terminal: " text I was going to remove, as it goes against the
HIG (Debugger doesn't have "Debugger" in window title, neither does
"Tracker", etc.)

But Vision, WebPositive, NetSurf, QupZilla do - they put it at the end
of the title with a dash, however.
