The current Implementation uses MDI on Windows - so all windows stay
inside theapplication window. It is possible to change this, of course - but let me
first implement allother windows - i think tis way is not so bad/unusual on windows. On Mac
we don't have this,of course!

Yes - i will get improved icons for the next build.

Yes - good idea. Note that we don't need a seperate EDIT button because
editing happensinside the property editor.

Yes - agree.

Ok.

> NEW / EDIT / DELETE are active the others are greyed out.
Yes - the list view is not finished yet - in fact it uses standard icons -
this will be changed!
