pretty strange that such bug is shown only with qt widgetset. Patch is 
more friendly for TabControl.Move() and better than current 
implementation IMO. Don't know how custom pages works or how it is 
coded, but setting tabs while config is loading is not good.
Is it conceptually working like this: load config,fill tabs, move tabs 
around, hide tabs which should be hidden ? Or it does it's job one by 
one tab ?
