Another approach is to show a list of panels on the side of the dialog
and let the user click a panel to make it active. (For example, the
REALbasic Preferences dialog.)

All these things boil down to showing the user a set of things and
letting him select an "active" one. There are many ways to skin this
cat, with "jumping tabs" being perhaps the worst.
