I believe it would be of benefit to have multiple horizontal lines on which tabs can be placed.  This will eliminate not being able to see tabs after so many have been opened.

Reproducible: Always

I don't think multiple tab bars would be a proper solution, maybe a vertical list could work?

Hello Jon,

Unfortunately, my window configuration is set up the most efficient way,
as per my diagnostics throughout the 1.5 years I have used this
machine.  I noticed there was a request for this in the past, which was
denied.  Moving one window above Konversation to make room for a second
horizontal bar would be easier than re-arranging my entire desktop.  Let
me know if this clarifies at all.

Thanks,

I'm sorry, but this won't be implemented. It's not possible to implement an aesthetically pleasing, themeable multi-row tab bar while retaining compatibility with existing Qt style/theme engines, for one, and we also don't want to step outside the UI vocabulary used by common KDE apps in such a way.

As Jon suggests, a good solution is the vertical list, which is already available by putting tabs on the left: http://konversation.kde.org/screenshots/konversation13_2.png
