Re: Suggestion: The option to open a folder in a New Tab instead of a New Window.

As metacity works so well with gnome, would a metacity patch be a better idea do you think? It could be a lot harder to code than introducing tabs to a particular app only. Tabs suit some types of apps far better than others. Browsers, editors (including ooffice) and the like would be the biggest winners. What do you think?

Wouldn't allowing tabs through a wm raise the same issues in nautilus as 
the others say a patch would? Tabs would definitely seem to the way 
popular computer usage is going though.
    

I don't think it would cause trouble. Instead of special-casing each
application to indroduce MDI, you now have a mechanism working with
consistent behavior on all apps, all toolkits. That'd be great.
