I've been thinking about the issue of window groups tabs etc.  I agree
that the current right click window group system is not really quite
immediate enough to make window grouping worthwhile.  I have a
proposition for a manner in which to do window grouping here:

http://jedidiah.stuff.gen.nz/window_groups.html

That involves a whole new level of complication/control over groups that
people may not wish to pursue (though I, presonally, think it is the
direction we ought to be heading).

I would be quite open to any thoughts, criticisms, comments, or
suggestions on the system.  Refining and improving what I have there can
only be a good thing.

Thanks.

Jedidiah.
