Hmm. Ok. I don't understand programming all that well, but can often 
enough trace my way through source code. No promises, I'm a full time 
student, a factory worker, webmaster and have to help with my elderly 
parents. Sounds interesting though.

What would the main problems be with the tabs? Aesthetics isn't an 
issue, it looks fine in pcmanfm which has a fairly similar layout. What 
are the differences code-wise between running several windows and 
running several tabs?

Technically it should be possible to utilize most of the code from 
elsewhere in the gnome project or other open source at least and perhaps 
introduce it firstly as a plugin if possible. From what you say though 
it may have to be more than a plugin, but introduced at build time.

Yours,

dov
