Hello,

What I asked for is adding a "unknown node type", i.e. a generic node
type that would be used if the node is unknown. I know it is
unreasonable to assume the project manager knows all possible node
types.

But the problem is that it doesn't "look" at all. The project manager
shows only the nodes it knows about
(root/group/target/source/module/package), and only in the relationships
it knows about (i.e. it doesn't show a target if it is a child of root).

Anyway, it's unreasonable to assume it will work perfectly from the
start, but it should at least work somehow. If the backend needs some
special treatment (mainly icons), it can be done in the next cycle.
