Ah Glade... I sometimes use that for playing about with new ideas, as
the basis of a Python GUI. Glade-3 has dropped the code-generator
though, as they would very much like everyone to use libglade or
equivelant for everything.

I'll code the tabs to auto-hide if you only have one open. I would
consider adding a hide-tabs option, and allowing them to switch using
hotkeys (which I intend to connect up to the new tab-bar system). The
GtkNotebook widget would still be visible, and controling the page
swapping, just without its buttons.
