 Doh - found the option to change the defaults and also found the (not
 obvious?) ability to drag tabs around.  Thanks guys!

 OK, I found the option to control the defaults - oops.
 Still , I think it's missing the ability to move a tab between windows

 Hi,
   I use pidgin for IM and for IRC; I've got multiple IRC tabs in multiple
 windows (by using the detach tab option on the menu).

   If I do a /join #channel in one IRC window the new tab doesn't necessary
 appear in the window I did that in; indeed I don't think there is a way to
 move a tab between windows.

   I think there might be 2 wishlists/minor bugs here:
     1) I'm not sure what the semantics of which window is chosen is, but I
 don't think it feels right in this case.
     2) I should be able to move a tab to a different window, so I can
 organise things.

 (For reference I currently have 3 windows open with about 2 tabs per
 window).

 Dave
