However, after some thoughts, we'll have to make the tab bar using a custom
GtkContainer, because we can't draw all in cairo (we need to be able to put
any widget in the tablabel), and it will be more integrated.

I will probably make a prototype of a tab bar, in Vala, in the following
days. I encourage everyone to do the same so we can compare usuability,
code complexity, etc...
