Explanation What's new here:
- Set up a new notebook.
- Create a GtkEventBox and stuff the tab label inside.
- Don't forget this!!! Othewise the tab label would not show!
- Set up event handler to listen to button click on tab. Note that we passed the
$tab_label along so that we know later which tab is being clicked on.
- Append a new page to the notebook with
$widget as the content and the $eventbox as the tab label. In this example, we set up the first two tabs as GtkLabel, and the third as GtkTextView.
- This is the function that is called when the user clicks on a tab. The variable
$tab_label allow us to know which tab the user clicked on.
