No way!  This isn't a good idea.  The whole idea of tabs is that you can 
keep your web navigation grouped because pages take some time to load 
and stuff.  Why would you want to group your file managament 
directories?  At most you should have like 6 kfm windows open, and that 
does not warrant tabs.  You already have up and back, and get instant 
response from them.
