Ok, so it's not just me :)
Raster, do you mind seeing if the out of the box experience can make the
overlay work by default. Without that, there is definitely a "where are the
tabs" experience :)

Did you get them to work? I changed themes from the default provided list,
and none show any tabs overlayed.

While we're at it, another thing I really liked with Eterm.
Eterm had 'steal focus' in its menu. I use this when the WM is hung but X
still works so that I can type in that terminal to fix things.
Use an NFS homedir that hangs, or kill -STOP enlightenment to see what I
mean, and then you can't move your typing focus to a terminal to fix things 
unless you already have an Eterm running.

Would that be easy to add?

As for the message below, I made no progress, I just don't see the tab
overlay.

Any idea what to do?

Thanks,
Marc
