Tony, that was extremely helpful. I chose the simplest method and hard coded the following into my vimrc:

set guioptions+=b guioptions-=e

Actually, I use to map ctrl-H to call:

func! ToggleHscroll()
if &wrap
set nowrap
set guioptions+=b
else
set wrap
while &guioptions =~ 'b'
set guioptions-=b
endwhile
endif
endfunction

and now that has simplified to

set guioptions+=b guioptions-=e
func! ToggleHscroll()
set wrap! wrap?
endfunction

I can create/delete tabs and toggle wrap without fear now. It takes up vertical space, but it's worth it. I can't believe the years it took me to post this.

Thanks!
