[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#10435) Repodlg tabs in GTK+2 client

The major problem with the tabbed repodlgs (as with the tabbed chats) is 
that there's no way to know when a tab needs attention.  With popup 
windows you know because the window physically gets in your way.  But 
with the current tab system you just have to guess when the science 
dialog needs attention.

But this could easily be solved.  When popup_science_dialog() is called 
just turn the tab entry red and/or blink it.  Or you could try 
automatically activating that tab, but I suspect that would be worse.
