My app may have many, many tabs. Wrapping is impractical - takes up
too much real estate.

A new problem: we are now using Nimbus Look-and-feel and the statement
  UIManager.put( "TabbedPane.selected", color );
no longer works. It merely sets the color of the navigation arrows (if
they exist), and does nothing to the selected tab.
