tab management new/existing kernel.

	working 2 kinds of tab
	with Ctrl+Shift+T -> tab attached on same kernel
	with Ctrl+T -> tab attached on new kernel

	closing event management is way far from the one of the mainWindow
	and "first tab" is still handeled differently as the other ones as some action
	are still attaches to it directly
