Oh, I almost forgot! I started doing a tab rewrite a little while back.  I've 
gotten it to work fairly well, I now have something that works almost as well 
as the old tab widget, I still need to fix up the scrolling, and its a little 
bit ugly.  But I guess I'll post a patch up on my webserver.  I don't have 
very much time now that college has started, but its getting there.

Here's the adress:
