I can't actually look at these because they're encoded base64 instead of
uuencode, (how do you decode a base64 message?) but remember that to do
tabs, you need to invoke the shape extensions of X11. The shape extensions
have always seemed EXTREMELY slow to me. You might get away with it,
beause they are all going to rectangular shapes. To get a feel for this,
try resizing an oclock, and see how long it takes to complete (almost
a second for me).
