When reporting a bug, please report what platform you're on and what
file you downloaded.

Since you didn't give this information, I assume you have downloaded the
wrong file.  You want the "gtk2" client for windows, not the "win32"
client.  The latter is an older, uglier-looking client.  The former is
prettier and has the tabbed feature, but won't run on windows ME or earlier.

Also it's possible you disabled the option for tabbed dialogs.  This is
configurable (in the gtk2 client) in the options dialog.

Note that 2.0.5 only has bugfixes so you shouldn't see any visible
difference from 2.0.2.  If you do, it means you've probably done
something wrong.
