	min_tabs.lua

	lua code to auto show/hide tabs as the number of windows in an ion frame
	changes from/to 1
	this affects windows on WIonWS and WPaneWS workspaces but leave
	windows on WFloatWS's alone

	Originally created by David Tweed

	22 Feb 2007 John Schreiner: ignore transients to prevent empty frames
        14 Dec 2006 David Roundy: modified to work with latest ion3
	11 Feb 2005 David Tweed: modified to work with ion3 svn versions
	15 Feb 2005 Cas Cremers: only frames with one window hide the tabbar
	(as opposed to <= 2)
	01 Sep 2005 Cas Cremers: single client windows that are tagged still
	show the tabbar.

	- Easier to work with using a style with slightly wider frame
	  borders and more vivid "active frame" colours.
	- The keybinding META..T is defined at the end of the file: this
	  should override the normal binging, thus min_tabs should be
	  loaded *after* the normal definition of META..T. It is not
	  appropriate to have key bindings hard-coded in extensions, but I
	  don't currently know of a better way.
	- Currently supports ion3 with old toggling as well as new
	  toggling function conventions; this can be removed later on.

	one way to enable this is by adding
	dopath("min_tabs")
	to cfg_ion.lua
