| The WindowManagerPlugin handles diplaying Views,
tool-bars, and handling the menu-bar. All the API methods to add/remove
menu-bar-items/docks/toolbars are thread safe, so they can be used, without
having to worry about swing's lack of thread safeness.
This plugin, and the window manager service that it provides is
only half of the equasion as far as window management. The other half
is the "window manager mode" which is what actually displays the UI.
The devision is labor is that the this plugin handles writing data into
the registry, creating
Dialog objects, etc., and the window
manager implementation responds to data written into the registry in
order to realize the UI. There are actually multiple implementations
of the window manager implementation... window mode and desktop mode.
