Interesting idea, although right now I'd personally like to see us  
trying to simplify the sidebar rather than making it any more  
complex :)  (Step 0: find out how many of the existing sidebar views  
people *really* use...  figure out if the tree view really still  
useful since the Mac-style list view was introduced a while ago...  
etc...)

Cheeri,
Calum.
