I now have my test version of VueScan 7.0 working with set of
tabs.  It works quite nicely on both small and large monitors.
I'm actually surprised how much nicer the user interface seems,
since it seems a lot less cluttered and the preview and scan
images appear larger.

Also, I was asked by one person to put the buttons at the top, above
the tabs.  This ends up looking quite cluttered, and it's easy to press
a tab instead of a button, and vice versa.  Putting the buttons at
the bottom and having the menus and tabs at the top seems to be
quite natural.  Unless someone can come up with a convincing
argument for putting the buttons at the top, I'm planning on leaving
them at the bottom.
