Unified Tabbing Across All Applications
ElementaryOS should support unified tabbing with all of its applications. By unified I mean there should be a mechanism that allow applications to use platform's tab policy to deal with tabbing. One way to do that is a window manager(Gala, for example) should let applications to use some hooks to use titlebar as a tab and it's applications' responsiblity to deal with differentiating a tab with another instance (in today's terms a tab is like a thread and a new window is like a process). And for a plus, window manager should let a tab be freed as a window by dragging it just like any browser and other applications out there. So that would be step in the right direction for consistency through out the OS. I believe one of you guys have given a thought and wrote an article about it. Chromium is a great example for that but it should have been done at window manager level

Sounds good for me, but no one of the linux developers started wornking on it, any reason? --luksi.reiku
I think this blueprint may actually be superseded by this bug report: https:/
