Hi, After a little discussion with empathy's maintainer (Xavier), I would like to have an advise of the usability team. As described by Xavier on the bugzilla[1] tabs across gnome applications are displayed and handled differently:
[..] > 1) epiphany, firefox and nautilus have a fixed size for tabs; > 2) gnome-terminal and pidgin use the full width as does empathy; > 3) gedit uses variable size depending on the name of the edited file; > 4) gajim uses variable size with a Max width per tab. [..] And what about if there is only one tab displayed? Should the tabs bar always be present? Should it be configurable by the user? There is already a tab policy in the GUI guidelines but it may not fits correctly in these case where tabs may be opened/closed/moved by the user. So what do you think?
