 FWIW, I almost have that for ilist. I have a little resizing issue when
collapsing, apart from that it should be ok for general comsumption
soon.

 I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to always use the same window
instead of opening a new window everytime, e.g., you selected category,
then item, and all the content of the window is being replaced by the
settings themselves instead of opening a new one.
 Problem is that I think that it is against E philosophy...
