Actually, this reminds me of an issue I had while trying to fix tabs in the Mac OS X/Quartz engine. Basically, on MDI, the Mac "preference" tab mode, is pretty weird, that's why Safari and Firefox have their own drawn tabs instead of the typical tabs in a preference dialog. If we had a setting to let a tab have MDI mode, that could solve the problem from the engine standpoint I think. > -- > Vinicius Depizzol <[email protected]> > http://vinicius.depizzol.com.br > _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list > -- Un saludo, Alberto Ruiz _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
