Description Juan Pablo Mendoza 2002-11-11 02:54:00 UTC 
Gnome Terminal should wraparound when you rearch the last or the first tab,
that's the way metacity does when switching workspaces also when switching
 windows, xchat also does that.

If the mantainers agrees this is a feature that should go in i can provide
a patch.
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-11-11 03:30:36 UTC 
metacity just changed to match every other notebook (and other
things), though. Stopping lets you "slam to one end" without counting
precisely, and more closely matches the idea that objects have
physical presence. 
It's also more usable for blind and other disabled users.

The argument for the notebook is more clear than that for workspace
switching I think, as every standard GTK notebook does stop at each end. 
XChat is all about nonstandard. ;-)

What about a gconf key to be able to changue the behavouir ?
