and what is this about?

Well, when one adds 32 sheets (or whatever is necessary to run out of window space) then the last sheets are only accessible through t\he manage sheets dialog...  I don't think user will like that.

A changed file in my tree.  And me being to lazy to edit the diff.

Just change the creation of wbcg->bnotebook to...

	wbcg->bnotebook = g_object_new (GNM_NOTEBOOK_TYPE,
					"tab-pos", GTK_POS_BOTTOM,
					"show-border", FALSE,
					"tab-hborder", 0,
					"tab-vborder", 0,
					"scrollable", TRUE,
					NULL);

and you get arrows when space runs out.  Not very pretty ones in my theme,
but at least functional.

This one behaves a bit better.

This is defintiely much better but there is a strange effect if you drag the separator to the right beyond the window and then back a little bit into the window again.
