good point. So I have some comments to the patch:
 * I think it should be side effect free. That is when the tabbox is closed 
with Escape it should return to the state as before.
 * It should only be used when compositing is not active (maybe even combined 
with the highligh option?). For composited systems we have a better solution.
 * I fear it will crash when a window is closed. You can easily test by middle 
clicking the items in the tabbox ;-)
