Comment (by wonder):

 I would suggest you to modify the patch. With this patch, users will get a
 tabbed view with tab "2d view" containing map canvas. However in common
 use case when not using ossim planet plugin, the user has lost several
 pixels of canvas on every border, moreover it can create some confusion
 "if this is a 2d view, where are the other views?".

 The best option would be to create the tab view only on request on a new
 tab and to remove the tab view once there's only one remaining tab.
