For anyone who is to lazy to compile, here is a screenshot:

I generally like it :) You can faster access the different property
groups and it looks cleaner.
But some non-English languages (like German in my example)  tend to
have longer words. So you need a relatively big window to see all tabs
(minimum width of 450 pixels here).
Unfortuantely QTabWidget has only a setTabEnabled and no
setTabVisible. I tried TabStack->setTabPosition(QTabWidget::West) but
that looks very ugly.
Perhaps the tab labels could be replaced by meaningful icons with the
current label text as tooltips?
Also I  would like to see detachable tabs which become QDockWidgets.
