I think we have to think of something that acts as a namespace...
the UMLDoc should have a "package" named _global_ and all UMLObjects should be 
children ( directly or indirectly ) of this thing.
The only object which has the UMLDoc as parent is this global package.
Inside the _global_ you can define classes or other packages, etc.
and exactly this structure/hierarchy is what I'd like to see in the listview.

maybe we need two "views" . one which shows the object hierarchy ( a tree of 
"namespaces" ( a class is in the namespace of its package, an operation in 
the namespace of its class, and a parameter on the namespace of its operation 
)
The diagrams would have to go on a separate folder, at the same level with the 
_global_ folder

we could have another view where the users can create folders and accomodate 
classes and diagrams together as they like.
