Meld has this as always-show; you can turn this to auto if you like,
but that will have an effect on drawing offsets in several widgets
that aren't prepared for this setting, so some things won't look quite
right.

If you're talking about hiding the list of tabs, then you could set
the "show-tabs" property of the GtkNotebook in meldapp.ui to False.
