From a design standpoint, I have to disagree with multi-color tabs. For 
Ubuntu it would be a step backwards, IMO, in trying to achieve a 
cleaner, more modern look, which I know is one of their goals lately.

My suggestion would be to thicken the borders and/or shadows between 
tabs to make them more distinct. Or possibly dim all but the selected 
tab. In your first screenshot, it's visually difficult to tell at a 
glance what my current tab is. There needs to be some way to call out 
that tab.
