The first three are required for TabbedModifier, the replaceBorings could be implemented as a combination of clearing the boring windows and adding new one individualy, but this way avoids modifying the layout if theeey are the same (causing flickering when updating the windows to be skipped).

This modifier allows you to group windows together in any layout. This patch superscedes and should conflict with the previous ones that added the same module.

Without this last one, this last iteration of TabbedModifier isn't much better than what I've sent about a week ago. I think that with the old Decoration.handleEvent, sometimes the resize / expose message happens before the window is recognized to have a decoration. The solution works, its just that it might not be a good idea to introduce more title redrawing if there is a better solution out there. Thanks to sjanssen on irc for suggesting that the windows aren't being drawn because X11 EventS not being handled properly.

This probably harms other users of L.Decoration by causing all decorations to be redrawn when only a single decoration might need it. It solves the issues with L.TabbedModifier not updating window titles, where the hidden windows are not made to send ExposeEvents without a refresh (which is even less pleasant than this).
