It's of course a usability problem if we have two or even three levels
of tabs (three with my "Session tabs" proposition, your "windows as
tabs" and my "tabs inside windows"). It's not as bad if we can use tabs
in different locations (north/south). We should also remember that we
should select good and easy defaults, and users don't have to mix
different features if they don't like them. It's like the work selector
buttons vs. window header - you can use both but can switch either of
them off.
