It is a Gtk+ thing (i.e. focus border).  I have pushed a new version that 
doesn't have it.  For other additions, see README.TABS th the root of the tree.

I'm not sure if it is a mode.  It is kind of outside that.
You can now disable tab creation entirely by specifying disable-tabs in frame 
parameters at frame creation.

I don't think so.  After all, closing a frame doesn't close files.  The file 
may still be visible in other frames or tabs.
