Good question.  I forgot to mention a cool little feature in the
previous emails in which that dPageStyled supports the dragging of a
tab to reorder it (like dDockTabs). dDockTabs doesn't have the nav
buttons or the stylistic elements, and doesn't allow you to take the
close button off of the page tab (at least on Windows).  You also
don't get the page closed events from wx.

>From what I could tell dDockTabs was basically a dPageFrame with close
buttons on the tabs.  It's biggest feature by far though is the whole
moving elements around.  I just started playing around with that it it
is uber-useful.  Are there methods exposed in the class to move the
pages around?

Haven't tested dPageStyled on Mac or Vista, but on XP and Gtk it looks
just fine. The page selection works fine for me.
