I agree that this is an essential feature. One problem with hiding the tab-bar if only one tab is open, you got no way to merge to windows with only one tab open. Not sure how to solve that. There should be a handle to drag even if just one tab is open, it might look different but something should be there, right? On the other side... In gnome-terminal having the tab bar always opened would annoy me also as it takes a lot of space (and looks crappy). But I think the terminal is a special thing anyway. Florian
