Thanks -- that's a much more complete / thorough explanation than I 
managed to give.  The Project Browser tries to fit a lot of features 
into a small amount of space and I'm not convinced that we've found the 
most efficient way to pack them.

In the core dev team we use the Project Browser a *lot* when working on 
the IDE.  But we probably use it in a different way to the way many 
people developing apps with the IDE use it.  We need to get more 
feedback about what it does well (so we don't mess with those parts) and 
clear feedback about specific things it does badly (so we can tweak them).

I'm not entirely sure what the "mysterious lock icon with a 'Show' 
tootip" is for... I haven't used it yet.
