GUI changes

Sami and I have been working on the proposed GUI changes on our own 
branch for the past little while, and I thought I'd post some 
screenshots of what has come up so far, and ask for some feedback.

The access to the source window has been removed from the session 
manager, and instead placed in the druid, where the 'selected' processes 
are listed in the right-hand-side listview, the same also used for 
setting up a monitoring session. Furthermore, the event viewer is now 
brought up directly from the druid rather than closing the druid and 
then re-opening the session from the session manager. Finally, more 
process-specific information is available in the druid.

Those look pretty good to me Mike!

A couple of comments:

1)  Was there a reason for the druid windows not having 
maximize/minimize buttons in the upper right-hand corner?

2) Could you place a "Help" button in the lower left-hand corner on the 
druid screens as there is in the session manager screen.  I can hook 
those into the help system if you could just put the button there.

Nice work!

Looks like the original druid doesn't have those either - but I can't 
see any reason why it shouldn't have them. Good call!

No problemo.
Thanks!

Should the  "Observed Processes" view have columns to make the display 
more even (homogeneous)?

I think eventually the right-hand view may just match the left-hand one 
exactly, in terms of columns displayed. I'm open to suggestions of 
course, but what I'm going to commit today will look pretty much like 
what was in those screen shots, and we can figure out the details this week!
