Move tabs code from config_window_create() to new smaller functions. Each tab has now its own function named: config_tab_general(), config_tab_image(), config_tab_windows(), config_tab_filtering(), config_tab_editors(), config_tab_exif(), config_tab_advanced();

GQview will scale the image down to 600 DPI before sending it to the
printer. This can greatly reduce the size of a print job when
printing Proof Sheets or very large images.</P>
