Thanks, Calum. Well, that's not what I'm seeing. A GnuCash developer
told me that he wouldn't overwrite the GtkTreeView bindings to allow
C-PageUp/Down to move between tabs so it's unlikely that it has been
overridden. A puzzler indeed. I'll mention this to the developers.

I still think that the HIG should specify C-PageUp/Down for moving
between tabs and that other widgets should not use this binding.
