Hm.. Non-trivial.

Define "exists", please. Look at Partner's "Accounting" tab and tell me, how do 
you check if these field value "exist" or not? What about the many different 
ways to set a default, by the framework?

I think such an idea would have confusing implications regarding its 
implementation. It might also be an expensive operation for the framework to 
perform.

Title:
  Indicator on tab that data exists

Status in OpenERP Web Client:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  No current method exists by which to indicate to a user that a tab has
  data within it.

  For example, you have to look at the notes tab against a Partner
  record to see if it holds any notes.

  If a method could be made available to enable a developer to flag that
  notes exist, by means of an icon, or by changing the colour of the tab
  etc this would be an excellent usability enhancement.
