  I think this is a problem at least with some kind of applications. 
How would you handle this, for example
    http://primates.ximian.com/~dave/screenshots/anjuta2-devhelp.png
  with the WM-tabs approach without going the NetBeans/Forte way of 
having lots of windows scattered in your workspace? And even if that 
could be seen as a solution (given a really smart WM and task switcher 
and carefully coded apps), I also think it would be quite hard for both 
the app and the wm to organize the windows in a sane way...

  This is starting to look more and more like the Mac OS approach, 
IMO... not that I don't like it, but I'm not sure if the whole of the DE 
is ready for such a change... I'm not sure the mixing of fundamentally 
different paradigms is a good idea... I'm quite happy with tabs, after 
all, and I don't feel being alone
