Currently, the Terminal app's code is a really big mess. Part of the
reason for this is because of the way the tabs/sessions are managed.
Cleaning it up is possible, but I think the better solution would be
to scrap the BTabView altogether and switch to using Stack & Tile for
the tabs instead. That way, when you hit "New tab" in the menu, it
opens a new window and attaches it to the current stack.
I think the window tabs are not ready for this yet; they have too few
features.
The leading "Terminal: " name alone makes the feature unfeasible as of
now IMO. The only real advantage would be to make the tabs accessible
from Deskbar.
But there is a middle way: just add a "New stacked window" menu item,
that does just that, and keep the tab feature alive for now -- it's not
really visible unless you use it anyway.
Bye,
Axel.
