    Yes, I've never understood why anyone, given a decent windowing system,
    would want any application to separately hide stuff that you should be
    able to view and manipulate independently. The only advantage I can see
    to hiding things behind tabs is that it gives you a way to close an
    application and all the windows it controls in one step. Is there some
    way to close all firefox (or OOo or any other application's) windows
    if they were opened separately?
