No amount of C-l will make the tabs disappear for me.
The way to debug this if you have time is to put a printf statement in each
of x_map_subwindow and x_unmap_subwindow with the id. You should always get
an x_map_subwindow last if the tabs are to be visible. If you can break on
the x_unmap_subwindow that causes them to go away for good and send me a
backtrace that might help. Although this gets tricky with multiple frames.
I'm guessing it has something to do with expose events. Maybe even the
ignore expose is being over-zealous....
Or maybe Damon could send me his .emacs and I can try and reproduce it on
ms-windows.
