I stumbled on this bug while investigating bug 599841, but so as not to
sidetrack that bug, I decided to post a new one for this specific issue.

See this screenshot: https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=356982

As you can see from this screenshot, the width of the SizeMode = Fixed tabs is
wrong with Mono, they're too narrow.
This is due to the fact the ItemSize property of the TabControl is not set,
which makes Mono use the default item size, and that's where the bug is: Mono
enforces the wrong default item size.

The problem lies in TabControlPainter (line 170):
defaultItemSize = new Size (42, 21);

When SizeMode = Normal, this bug doesn't appear, as the tab width is
automatically determined from the tab content.
However, when SizeMode = Fixed, then the default item size should be 96 * 19,
to match .NET. Or possibly 96 * 21, as 21 was the height enforced in the first
place. If set to 19, it becomes thinner than in .NET, although the same padding
is used... So I'm not sure where that 2px different comes from.

So, in the end, I guess doing this will do for now:

defaultItemSize = new Size (96, 21);

Reproducible: Always
