[Bug 749335] Re: Explore options for tab integration with Unity top bar

i think the clean solution here is to allow applications to draw widgets
in the top-panel (menu/titlebar area) and (maybe) the window's titlebar.
This will allow developers to place menu-buttons (like firefox, M$
Office) and tabs (Firefox, Chrome) in the window-chrome and top-panel.

It may be worth making "window-chrome widgets" that applications can
choose from (a widget toolkit for window-chrome/top-panel), in the
interests of consistentcy.

This would open a new world of potential for UI design on Linux -
especially if we could get patches upstream for xfwm4, kwin, metacity,
emerald, and unity-compiz-decorator (or make a program that overlays the
widgets over these WMs). Alternatively it would be great for this to be
a FreeDesktop.org standard :-) (so we only have to code unity and
metacity ourselves)
