[Usability] Context Menus for Tabs in MDI Apps

[Piers Cornwell <piers myrealbox com>]

Hi,

It would be nice to get a consensus for whether or not to have context 
menus for GNOME apps which use a tabbed MDI interface (principally 
Epiphany and Gedit i think). Gedit currently has them, Epiphany hasn't.

Personally, i think that it's quite "undiscoverable" (although if it was 
a standard maybe it would be more obvious?) since "normal" tabs (like in 
the Epiphany prefs dialog) don't have them. I also think that the tabs 
should be just for clicking on to select them, with their functions 
being held in the apps menu.

If we decide that context menus are a good idea, perhaps we should also 
choose which items to show.

Thoughts? Opinions?


Thanks,
