Tabbed Windows Extension Discussion

Opening tabs and windows

Should we have one window with tabs or should we have several windows, each of them with tabs?

OpenOffice.org has a lot of places where nowadays a new window is created or the existing one is replaced with new content (depending on the current content and the new content). In an application supporting tabs we could convert all of them to create a new tab instead of a new window. As this can be done in a central place of the code it is comparably easy to achieve and in fact it's the approach we took for our demo extension.
