I've been working on a similar widget set, though it does use the current 
QTabWidget:

http://knights.sourceforge.net/shots/ss06.jpg

It uses the 'Close' icon from the user's selected icon set for a consistent 
look. It also includes a "Grip" which the user can drag to organize the tabs 
into different top-level window. ( ie. Dragging a tab onto another tab will 
cause it to move to the destination's QTabWidget, while dragging it anywhere 
else will create a new top-level window w/ QTabWidget for it to be attached 
to. ) The TabManager class is used to organize everything, and it saves the 
widget's geometry on close.

It is far from complete, but if anyone is interested in using it, you can find 
it in my project's CVS under the following files:

tabmanager.*
tabbox.*
tabpage.*
tabgrip.*
