That's sad. This is still pre-release software. It's important at this stage
to use everyone's experiences to get things as right as possible. I think
it's a real privilege to have a tool of this quality giving high productivity
with real time support. One would have to be very unappreciative to flame
over changes/improvments/enhancements.

The only comment I've seen about API changes was a request to highlight them
in the manual - I guess that's a constructive suggestion.

tabbed selector, tabbed thingy, tabbed overlays, tabbed chooser, tabbed layers,
card file, card tabs, roladex, decked dialog,
edge button, edge selector, edge tabs, page tabs, layer tabs

I think I would plump for a single word like "pager" as it goes with
"browser" "chooser", "fselector" etc etc.

Can I assume you're going to do vertical as well as horizontal ones? ;-)
