Is it feasible to address the graphic part in this papercut, as that's also inconsistent: whether tab bar is shown, etc,?

If we take Firefox, gedit and nautilus as examples, IMO it should be this:

Tab bar shown by default (Nautilus is the only one not doing this now)
No close buttons for only a single tab open (gedit needs fixed, and nautilus isn't showing the tab bar in this case)
and >1 tab means close buttons should appear on all tabs
A new icon should be put to the right of the furthest-right tab, in all cases, indicating that's how to open a new one. (Firefox is doing this, nautilus and gedit are not)

Optional: a way of visually displaying all open tabs in an app.
