Explanation We make use of the code in Part 1 to setup a tabbed GtkNotebook with self-defined popup menu, and the code in How to display a popup dialog to prompt for data? to prompt for the new tab label.
What's new here:
- Add the "rename" option to tab label.
- Prompt for new tab label.
- Set the tab label to the new label.
- Updates the array
tab_labels() with the new label name.
