Good idea, but, instead of having one component (process) for each of
the 'profiles', why not have some kind of property where you can specify
which data to be shown? This can be easily done with bonobo properties,
which can be attached to the config controls. The only 'problem' I see
with this is that more work is needed on each of the config providers.

Definitely I think it's quite good to have something like this.
