one point of our sidebar was, that it will _not_ be tabbed. Multi-page 
tabwidgets are bad ui design, hence Qt does not support this. Our solution is 
outlined in qwertz' page, but unfortunately, the server seems to be down. Any 
power-losses in California, right now? :}

Right.

Not exactly tabs, you could also have more than one module visible at the 
same time (which is not possible with tabs). It's rather comparable with a 
vertical toolbar with togglebuttons.
