I think Mozilla/Galeon/etc is the perfect example to emulate.  You can
have new items (registers and reports in our case) open in either as a
new window or as a new tab in the current window, you can move tabs from
one window to another, tabs in a window can be reordered, the
application remembers the stacking order of the tabs, etc.

I also think this is something that should be left until after the
gnome2 port (no sense in doing it now then having to redo it for
gnome2), and we should seriously consider porting the code from a
project like galeon.  No sense re-inventing the wheel.
