With Fluxbox you may be able to build a tabbed interface out of a non-tabbed one, but that doesn't mean the program is tabbed. That's like saying that, with any of a large number of Linux desktop managers and window managers, I can have multiple virtual desktops, which means that I have infinite space on my display. No, I don't; I have an extra layer in there that provides that, but my display is still what it is. ChrisA
