We'd have to implement the tab-window widget ourselves in that case. The
Gtk widget for tabs assumes the shape of a rectangle, and "contains" the
"pages" it switches between.

No reason it can't be done... we could probably borrow heavily from the
GTK sourcecode to do it.

What gschem could benefit from - shame I never thought of this in time
for the SoC suggestions, is a customisable toolbar system, rather than
the current hard-coded tool list.
