Don't change automatically to session tab

[Pablo Castellano]

I was following a ubuntu classroom session, working in the terminal tab.
Every time a new link was written by the session leader, the tab switched to "session tab" and this is annoying.

A possible solution would be just highlight the session tab when something has changed.

This also happens when the presenter calls for a new slide: since the slide window isn't shown in the terminal tab, lernid switches to the session tab to show the new slide, breaking the user's concentration.

My recommendation is that any time the slide show is being used, it be shown
in any tab.

Hi,

I took the liberty to write a patch where the session tab is highlighted instead of focused when the slide show changes or a new web page is loaded. Showing the slide show in any tab should be possible as well, I might get back to doing that later.

Cheers

@Sanne: Thanks for your speed :) I agree with your patch.

But I think it would be better with these little modifications:

Adding
self.session_label.set_use_underline(True)
after:
self.session_label = gtk.Label()

Changing two occurrences of:
self.session_label.set_markup_with_mnemonic(_('_Session'))
by:
self.session_label.set_label(_('_Session'))

Changing:
self.session_label.set_markup_with_mnemonic('<b>%s</b>' % _('_Session'))
by:
self.session_label.set_markup('<b>%s</b>' % _('_Session'))

What do you think?
