Hope so.  So far, I am fairly encouraged by how well the view looks 
based on what you have done in your patch and the hacks I have added to 
visualize this in a master-detail view that uses the GenModel Property 
Categories as labeled Widget Groups and Property Descriptions as tool 
tips on the detail side.  With a little more work it may even prove an 
acceptable replacement for our Properties View.
