Funny, I always thought that multiple rows of tabs were an abomination. 
  ;^)  I do agree that itty-bitty tabs are worthless.  Maybe "use N rows 
of tabs then scroll" where N is configurable would work.

Hmm, I wonder if there's a way to get Apple's WM to do the session 
thing.  I would really like to see "Save Session" and "Load Session" 
appear on the file menu at some point.  It would make my life so much 
easier...
