Well, I wouldn't expect the tabbar to be drag-and-drop customizable
anyway. The customizations that I *might* think reasonable would be best
served by a dialog anyway, like the one in Preferences.

I think most of us are addicted to right-clicking on everything and find
it disturbing when something just... does nothing. It *feels* broken.
So, I don't remember exactly what was the previous behavior, but a
pop-up menu with "open new tab", "close all tabs" and "tabbar
preferences" at a minimum would go a long way to quiet that distress. It
would be a natural place to add other tab-related features, such as
Panorama, if and when Seamonkey decides to port it from Firefox.
