hmm, I hadn't thought about shutdown.  It's unique (AFAIK) in that it
doesn't have any submenu.  That wouldn't fit on a tab at all.  Perhaps a
'System' tab?

What did you think about this idea?

We'd probably need 3 areas.  One would be a "notebook" area, which would
contain a "tab-bar" and an active "page".

Well, that's dependant on us knowing what plugins might be installed. 
What if somebody installs a "Web Browser" plugin?  Shouldn't that get
it's own tab?

Would it really be that difficult?  Wouldn't we just define horizontal
scrolling for the tab-bar area?
