Comment #7 on issue 311 by allbery.b: using noBorders on tabbed layout  
freezes tab bar on workspace change
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=311

I haven't seen this, but have seen a possibly related anomaly involving  
noBorders and tabbed:

I have a layout with a moderately involved PerWorkspace layout on one  
workspace (toggling between tabbed and several others as clients of the IM  
layout, for flexibility) and the rest using Full.  What I found was that,  
if (noBorders Full) was specified *after* PerWorkspace, tabs were only  
drawn once, and ignored my theme.  I could see something trying to update  
them afterward (flickering on focus changes), but no actual changes were  
painted.

If I moved noBorders *above* the PerWorkspace, tabs worked as expected.   
The same happened if I substituted smartBorders for noBorders anywhere in  
the above.

(Additionally, I find that tabbed is only using parts of my theme, even  
though if I trace through the code it looks like the right colors are being  
passed to the right places.  I don't know if this is related, a different  
bug, or if I'm doing something silly, though.)

It'll take some work to simplify my xmonad.hs enough to provide a test  
case/example.
