	Yeah, the current symbol brower is a little klunky.  Several
people have noted this and wished for a simple way of browser recently
or commonly used libraries.  I will take this all under consideration.

	I am planning on tossing the existing browser and doing
something a little more sane.  I'll also toss the existing file browser
and go back to using the stock gtk one (the new one in 2.4.x looks
promising) and as a side benefit, it'll work better in Windows.

	Thanks for the feedback.
