I haven't looked at the code so I can be way off, but as tabs are
theme dependents, could it be activated only when one choose a tabs
enabled theme?

Last time I've looked themes were treated with caution (IIRC "gaoled"
was the term used, at the end it's code that we are downloading and
running from untrusted sources) so probably doing it inside themes is
not feasible.
