That's a great page.

However, I'm not entirely convinced that multiple rows are bad in an of 
themselves -- what is bad is that the rows re-arange themselves when you 
select a tab -- AWFUL!

And since the Windows multi-row tab thing works that way, and wx doesn't 
provide it's own, it's best to avoid it. Do any of the alternative tab 
implementations allow multiple rows without any re-arranging?

By the way, the approach of putting lots of tab  on one row, then 
allowing them to be scrolled off the screen is even worse!
