Not really necessary, just look at Google Chrome for example. Each tab
is literally a separate process, it's really just multiple browser
windows grouped visually. When you cycle the window list via alt + tab,
Chrome only shows up once so you can quickly find the app window you're
looking for. Easy to alt + tab from Chrome to Email and back again.
Once in Chrome, easy to cycle through all the open tabs via ctrl + tab
in the context of that window or go directly to the tab you want via
ctrl + number.
No reason multiple Smalltalk browsers couldn't be grouped the same way.
Then you could have 10 browsers open without feeling cluttered, easily
flip over to monticello to save a package, or a workspace to try
something out, then back to the browsers without ever resorting to
delete unchanged windows out of frustration. Frustration is a common
occurrence with the Squeak family UI.
