Comment (by humdinger):

 It could be argued that most users only have a handful of volumes mounted
 at a time. In this case, tab views have advantages: You immediatly see all
 partitions and you save a click you'd need to pop up a pop-up menu. Also,
 DiskUsage remembers its window size, so people that usually have a bit
 more mounted volumes can compensate with a wider window.[[BR]]
 It may be worth considering not to use navi-arrow-buttons like Web+ for
 invisible tabs, but a small pop-up menu button with e.g. a down-arrow
 symbol instead. This pop-up would list all tabs with a separator between
 the currently visible and invisible entries.
