RE: Small "close_tab_button"

Merci!

Tadej overtook you but this is useful input as I was worried about the naming thing (now I know that names don't need to be unique).
I tried to look at Firefox's code directly but this is probably the subject of a PHD thesis on its own.
I didn't think of GEdit :)

Thanks all
Julien (happy coder)
