Setting the fullscreen mode when editing multiple documents, the document tabs are hidden.

This is particularly annoying whenever I have more than 3/4 documents opened, because I cannot remember their relative position: when not in fullscreen, I use the tabs' labels as a reference to pick the document I want by using Ctrl+Alt+arrows; but it gets difficult in fullscreen as the labels are not shown.

Showing the labels in fullscreen would follow the same behavior as gnome-terminal.

(Alas, in that case it is pretty useless, as the tab label is not a useful indicator of the tab's contents, and takes up sooo much screen space :-) ).

A possible solution would be to have 3 states: Normal Window, Fullscreen with tabs, Fullscreen without tabs. Pressing F11 would cycle between them.

(FYI: I actually am able to produce this behavior in Debian unstable, due to a bug in the way F11/fullscreen key is handled: just bind Shift+F11 -- or whatever -- to metacity's fullscreen key and combine the usage of F11 and Shift+F11 to obtain the wanted results... Ubuntu lenny doesn't allow to set the metacity fullscreen key through gnome-keyboard-shortcuts app anyway, so it won't work on all distributions. However, being a bug, ideally it shouldn't work at all. ;-) )

Thanks.
