Hi Dan,

Pitty we can't feed the getTabMenu anything else.

Yes, my goal is to not confuse the users. So, the original patch is the
best option. Maybe we can add a short message to the original upload
screen (if flash uploader is enabled): if you expect to see the flash
uploader, please click the button in the docheader.

That would hopefully educate them.
