> I think you seem to have missed the joke (maybe its a bit of a inside joke for people who were at Guadec, but still). Yes, GnomeICU has had tabs for years, and its not a great UI. And yes, GnomeICU is mostly dead, I know, I’m the non-maintainer and I work on Telepathy stuff.

Actually, not quite. I understand that tabbing ‘joke’ before posting (which isn’t that interesting in my opinion). Indeed I misunderstood GnomeICU situation, and I apologize for that. However, I still stand by the things described in rest of my post. Users truly believe they will do stuff that stupid, but they STILL try to act as if that reaction is funny. It’s a warning instead. They just don’t give people any confidence that they produce something useful.

Tabs are a hideous hack. Who needs the titles of their open windows listed persistently across the top of their screen? It takes up space and it takes ages (neurally) to move first your eyes, then the mouse pointer to the right tab.

Why not use context-menus or something for this?

They may be late, but I’ve never used GnomeICU because of the tabs. I really don’t like ‘em everywhere. Who needs tabs for a calculator? A tetris game? I hope that GNOME 3.0 don’t go that route.
