Gnome and I have never got on, KDE for me, I have 8 windows visible now
and more lurking in the background just waiting. How will Gnome3 handle
multi head?. May be allow multiple windows split by head. Anyway, the
option of tabs would be good for Gnome and just generally for users who
run all applications maximised.
In which case why not add tabs for any other open LO instances (calc,
impress,..).
