H-

Per your comments on usability (drill-down order in same report, etc) I'll
definitely pass those along to the team-  I'd recommend you also add a
feature request!  Votes on community-made feature requests have real
influence in how they prioritize their time :)

Regarding the ability to select custom variables in the left-nav with other
metadata, you can!  In left-nav, click on "visitors".  It will be the very
last item in the expanded list.  From there you can drill-down from Custom
Variable names to specific values by clicking on them (much the way you can
drill-down with events by clicking on category/action/label)

Brill, alas!  But best of luck with Flurry :)
