Questions about tabs

Piggybacking on the current discussion, I wonder if some can tell me:

(1) how to restore the behaviour -- which I found EXTREMELY 
useful in 1.2 -- of having the tab headers abbreviated to save space.  
As I recall, vowels and repeated consonants would be hidden.  As a
result I could see 12 or 14 tabs at once instead of the current 7.
I've looked in ExtraPrefs and didn't find it there, but I refuse to
believe that this feature could have just disappeared, it was
enormously useful.

(2) Is there a way to get rid of the X that closes a tab?  It is NEVER
the case that I want to close a tab other than the one that's
currently on top, and to close the tab on top, ^W is far easier than
moving the mouse to a spot 0.09 square centimeters in area.  So the
only time when the X gets clicked on is by accident, and when that
happens I curse myself, Galeon and the whole world.

Thanks,

Silvio
