I propose the following API:

/* Set|get action area content for a tab */
void        gtk_notebook_set_action_area (GtkNotebook *notebook, 
GtkWidget *action_area, gint at_position);
GtkWidget * gtk_notebook_get_action_area (GtkNotebook *notebook, gint 
at_position);

/* Globally show|hide action areas on tabs */
void     gtk_notebook_set_show_action_areas (GtkNotebook *notebook, 
gboolean show);
gboolean gtk_notebook_get_show_action_areas (GtkNotebook *notebook);

/* Show|hide action area for a tab */
void     gtk_notebook_set_show_action_area (GtkNotebook *notebook, 
gboolean show, gint at_position);
gboolean gtk_notebook_get_show_action_area (GtkNotebook *notebook, gint 
at_position);

/* Predefined action area types */
typedef enum
{
    GTK_NOTEBOOK_ACTION_AREA_CLOSE
    /* other types */
} GtkNotebookActionAreaType;

/* Set|get action area content for a tab by type */
void gtk_notebook_set_action_area_type (GtkNotebook *notebook, 
GtkNotebookActionAreaType type, gint at_position);


What do you think about?
