Just some random immediate observations for your ToFix list
as they just came to me when using current cvs. Maybe you're
aware of them yourself.

Tried to switch it to check, it got a hook, but it does not
persist. There lacks a line to hook up with "automatically
save options".

Where is F12/Ctrl-F12 gone??? This shortcut is used for
correspondence window.

In untabbed mode (classical so to say) I get all my windows
minimized if I switch the desktop but they're not brought to
front again once I come back.

I get pretty strange placements of the main window in
classic mode. That is it is not moved to its position where
I left it.

Resizing the main window vertically no longer scales the
information area but just adds unused empty space below it.

If I use the tabbed mode, window resizing seems broken. Ie.
in tabbed mode I need to resize the main window horizontally
as well, this is not possible (yet). It should recalc the
size of the main window from the dimension of the overall
window and ignore teh board size settings in this mode.
Tab sizes and Options/Chessboard/Size are currently in
destructive interference.

I tried to reproduce your setup. The navigation of the tabs
is yet quite  difficult, especially to guess where they open
up (there is some kind of focus that is not visible to the
user) and what left/right/top/bottom means.

If a window was once set to "top" I can not set it to any
other direction at all.

I think also d&d of a tab should get some visible
notification (and if only the mouse cursor changes).

The current drop target seems only to be next to the tab
where one wants to add the tab. This is a bit strange.

The size of the (then single) window requires this window to
be resizeable in either direction.

Comment editor seems broken:
    can't read "::board::_mark(.board)": no such element in array
    can't read "::board::_mark(.board)": no such element in array
        while executing
    "set ::board::_mark($board) $::board::_mark(.board)"
        (procedure "::commenteditor::Open" line 137)
        invoked from within
    "::commenteditor::Open"
        (procedure "makeCommentWin" line 7)
        invoked from within
    "makeCommentWin"
        invoked from within
    ".main.#menu.#menu#windows invoke active"
        ("uplevel" body line 1)
        invoked from within
    "uplevel #0 [list $w invoke active]"
        (procedure "tk::MenuInvoke" line 50)
        invoked from within
    "tk::MenuInvoke .main.#menu.#menu#windows 1"
        (command bound to event)

Hardware connect button is broken (I've to check what you
changed here, I'll repair this.)

Concerning the "tab" as such, I think it is pretty obsolete
and just requires space. Maybe moving tabs by clicking into
the "window" would be better.
