Hi,
when there is only one tab and one opens a second one the window changes
it's hight since it has to make room for the "tab bar". If there would
be an "always display tabs" option (that even displays a single tab of
course), the window wouldn't have to change it's hight (thus allowing to
arrange two terminals vertically).
Cheers,

My request is basically the same as Guido's -- I'd like an option to
always display tabs so the layout doesn't keep popping.

Another approach would be an option to always suppress the tab
bar. This accomplishes what Guido and I would like, while also giving
a little real estate back.

And ? This works. Use "gnome-terminal --tab --tab"

Read what I wrote in my previous e-mail to Guido. I'm not upstream and
I'm not the person who decide which option should be added in
gnome-terminal or not.
