Here's another approach.  Currently, frames can be iconified or
normal/deiconified.  We could add a third state, "unselected tab",
which also contains information about a "master" frame that is the
selected tab to which the unselected tab is attached.  That way, a
"selected" tab is a frame in its normal or iconified states, and an
"unselected" tab is a frame in the "unselected tab" state.
