I think too, that icons does not make sense for such abstract items. The
best or maybe the most scaring example is the Delphi screenshot.
A context sensitive description is very important. And if we use a multi
page setup like eclipse, then the description should be placed above.

What we need:
At the moment you can register items. In fact, all what you see in the
dialog are registered items.
We should extend the interface to easily setup this multi page setup.
And we should add a some items to easily create new project types, file
types and package types (etc.).
