New Extensions - Tabs on Treeview



Hi,
I'm currenly working on a new extension replacing tabs with a sidebar.
http://www.kmichel.info/projects/epiphany/

I think this may interest people with lots of tabs, I found it scales
better with more than 10 tabs
and allow faster visual scanning and reordering (less distances
between tabs). It's not really better than tabs on the left though,
except it's more compact and visually lighter.

The code is not yet clean and needs testing, particularly for
differences between 2.16 and 2.18 ( I'm working on a 2.16.3 epiphany
), known issues and limitations are :
* Incompatible with the Sidebar extension
* The close button is in a place we expect it to close the sidebar,
not the current tab.
   I don't know where to put the "close current tab" button(s),
horizontal space is not cheap
   in a toolbar so having one per row isn't a good idea I think.
* It's not yet possible to drag the sidebar between left and right side
* Managing right-part width in a Panel is a nightmare, may break some day.

As usual, ideas and bug reports are welcome :)
