Hi, Ali,
It turns out that the GTK Notebook has its own built-in mechanism
for tracking tabs. Two things got me going down the wrong road on
this:
1) the fact that Notebook.appendPage() returns an ever-increasing
index each time a page is added, and
2) trying to quit caffeine.
I chased my tail for a full week (seriously: a full week!) trying
to come up with a way to track tabs. Then I got tired of doing
face-plants on my desk, took up coffee again, and solved it in
three hours.
The moral of the story is: don't quit coffee until you have
nothing left to contribute to this world. :)
