Created attachment 201349 [details] List of dialogs with GtkNotebook In total we have 98 ui files containing a GtkNotebook, out of which 5 have no tabs (unclear situation!), 7 are inside another dialog (eg. AutoCorrect). In addition to the 8 completed we have 17 with at least 6 tabs. I suggest to apply the vertical tabs but with stacked icons, similar to the hyperlink dialog. This needs a case-by-case evaluation, for example the assistant-like Welcome dialog could remain horizontal. The attached document lists all remaining dialogs. Yellow background indicates "inline tabs", red non-tabbed dialogs, blue existing VT, ie. Hyperlink. The

I would say this is one possible solution to the "problem" of having few vertical tabs. Another solution is flexible-height tab headers, like we had for horizontal tabs. I'm fine with this personally, but I wonder if we should really have just-this-and-only-this universally, everywhere.
