What about concidering the approach suggested by these two wishlist bugs :
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42023
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45183
Having the tabbing handled as a part of the window manager would allow
tabbing for *any* app, and the application authours wouldn't have to write
a single line of code since it's just done by the WM.
