[gedit-list] Tab handling in Gedit



I don't know if this is being solved in the new version of gedit but
here's what's wrong with how gedit handles tabs:

- It doesn't let me reorder them.
- It still has a Ctrl-Q. Sometimes I will have two gedit windows open
and will accidentally kill both with ctrl-Q
- When you close all tabs the window might or might not close
depending if it's the last one

This makes it behave differently from epiphany. Since they are both
core gnome apps this should be consistent. In my opinion the epiphany
way is much better. What do I care if the application is running or
not. I never want to exit the application, that's an implementation
detail. I want to open and close windows and tabs. Epiphany has that
because it has a ctrl-W for closing tabs and the window manager's
close button for the windows.

I really like gedit, but this is my main annoyance with it. I also
really dislike this bug:

http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156085

allowing you to overwrite a document that someone else wrote over. For
that one I've been able to program myself to be carefull about it when
editing stuff from CVS that I update without gedit knowing. But having
to close and reopen the file sucks.

Thanks for the great editor,

Pedro.
