On a more related note, people seem to be fairly protective of vertical
resolution, so it might be a bit of an uphill battle to include this
slider. I realise this is on your list of questions/problems, but I
think it is quite a significant point (with widescreen laptops being the
norm, and netbooks with bad vertical resolution being common)
Someone mentioned a sidebar in Gedit. Perhaps we could give "tabs on
top" and "tabs on left" options? Those with widescreen would love
on-left, while 4:3 screens can do either comfortably.
Definitely something to look into. I've found that with the Tree Style Tab
extension for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890) I
can actually deal with all the tabs I have open at any given time.
XChat-GNOME does a similar thing, using a treeview for separate channels that
are tabs in XChat, and again it's far more comfortable when there are a lot
of them.
