Then we should probably fix that the label of the tab shows what you  
need to know (I assume the class name). Currently, the class name is  
prefixed with "System Browser: ", which uses up all the space as soon  
as one has several open windows. I would just remove "System Browser:  
" in the window title and tab label and only print the class name.  
Would that help?
