Oh yes! I just didn't think :-P.  The 1st level icon is really the root URI as
given by the user and the Zope:Treeroot is the 'invisible 0 level' root of the
tree.

So the top level server items will be persisted too (across sessions)? Would
it automatically try to reconnect to all servers once launched ? This could
probably be configurable.

I get it now: when the detailsview shows the Control_Panel, the New menu has
only this item.

> Undo should maybe be part of the object menu?

Well, since it undoes not only actions of the object menu but also the edit
menu.

I meant the server side cache parameters currently available through
Control_Panel. We also need to put here 'Flush Cache...'

You have. Just meant to say that we make it a rule.
I'll try to get the glossary started within a couple of days.

I'll also try to put up a draft design of the main menu.
