What you are describing is similar to 'pinning' tabs in web browsers.

That would be an interesting enhancement, especially for a dashboard 
type of report display. (there is such a sample report in the Reports > 
Multicolumn menu)

That button does *not* 'Quit GnuCash' and is not anywhere described as 
such. It closes the active tab only. It does not say 'Quit' it says 
'Close', but I do think it could be more clear and instead say: 'Close Tab'.
