Stopping a signal from being called

[Mark Doliner]

In onSwitchPage(), which tab are you removing, exactly?  Are you removing the
tab that you just switched away from?  In that case, wouldn't it already have
been removed (or maybe about to be removed)?  And if so, couldn't you just
detect that and not delete it?

This can't be infinite recursing because at some point you're going to run out
of tabs to delete.
