It looks to be a limitation of GTK+, I don't see anything in the gtk 
notebook api functions for setting tab orientation.  wx could probably 
be made to support it by setting the angle used for the label widgets on 
the tabs, but that would need a patch and some testing, it's not just 
something that can be turned on easily.
