Bug Description

The dialogs in System Settings should not show the tab bar when there's only one tab available, even if the dialog is expandable and can show more than one tab. This is the case with the Mouse and Touchpad dialog in System Settings, for example, where if there is only a mouse available and no touchpad, there's only one tab shown, which honestly doesn't look nice, in my opinion. Thus, changes should be applied to not show the tab bar when there's only one tab and obviously present it when there are two tabs or more in the dialogs.

Thank you for your bug report, is that specific to the mouse panel?

As far as I know, yes. I tested on a Ubuntu 12.04 guest in VirtualBox on Windows 7, without the Guest Additions installed. So, even though I only verified this behavior in the Mouse panel, I cannot confirm that it is exclusive to it.

summary: - Tabbed dialogs in System Settings with one tab should hide the tab bar
+ [mouse]: should not display the tabs bar when only one pane is in use

Here's a screenshot that better depicts the issue. Once more, I'm not sure if this issue is exclusive to the Mouse panel or not.
