Looks as a reasonable idea.
Wrt power users: one might expect a decent key stroke to move to the
next/previous page/tab. Maybe the same as currently.

We must realize that also dialogs with as little as two tabs exist. Then the
labels in a vertical row is a waste of space..

I would love to see some experimenting with that.
