Basically, what I want to do is put some buttons before the tabs in a gtk.Notebook. I tried making my own notebook type widget and it worked well, but it would have required lots more work to make it as flexible as I would like, also it wasn’t as efficient.
Here is a mock-up of what I’m trying to achieve: http://imagebin.ca/view/84SC0d.html
Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.
Ben.
You might be interested to know that this functionality has been added in GTK 2.20, see “Changes in GtkNotebook” in the following announcement: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2010-March/msg00132.html
