Now when you see a 'button row' you have to figure out if they're
"buttons" or "tab buttons". If you guess wrong hopefully it was just
a tab button else you'll be visiting "undo".
If you'll notice, tab buttons have a line running through them
dividing them in half. The line is part of the box that surrounds the
tab view. Depending on how the tab view is arranged in the window, you
might have a rounded box that encloses the contents of the view, or
you might just have the dividing line that runs across the tab > buttons.

I think you can tell that I'm anxious to get calls on this one. It
should be all kinds of fun trying to explain the difference between a
"button row" and "tab buttons"...
me: "You see how those buttons are on the line of that box?.."
caller: "What? right-mouse-button?"
me: "Ugh! No. When the 'button rows' are on a line they're no longer
'buttons' - they're tab buttons"
caller: "So I need to double-click?"
And then I pull out the screenshots of "what was"(Jag) compared to
"what is"(Pan), send an email and hope they don't call back.
Yeah, I know how to tell widgets apart. :-)
My point was that it will be confusing to many of the people I do
(free*) tech support for. So, it should be interesting if nothing else.

figure something out.
