[Bug 58998] Re: Gaim's tabs don't function like in Gedit/Epiphany/Terminal

[Schalken]

There's a rule I use when programming: "While the user is making a
change, they should see the result of that change while they are making
it." This rule is used throughout GNOME and should apply to tab movement
as well as document editing.

I personally don't see how the arrows allows for more precision. After
all, what could be more precise than seeing the tab in its desired
position as you move it? Of course dragging tabs between windows is
important, so if that function is at risk by all means leave the code as
is.

This is just one of the three problems. I don't see how problems 1 and 2
can be difficuilt to fix.
