[Kst] Patch for proposed change to Data Manager dialog

[George Staikos]

I'm not sure it's a good idea to go the full route of this patch  
yet.  I like some parts, but eliminating the top-level menu entries  
will significantly alter workflow for some.  I think we should play  
with it and wait for more feedback.
