RE: nubie list of stuff

Some info and tips about how to manage/unmanage objects:

1. When you change object's state to unmanaged, all it's childs becomes
unmanaged too.
2. The same is for changing object's state to managed - all it's childs
will be set to managed state.
3. If you unmanage node object, and then change state for some of it's
interfaces to managed, these interfaces will remain in UNKNOWN state
forever, because nodes in unmanaged state excluded from polling.
4. For now, you cannot select multiple objects in object browser when it
is in tree mode, but you can do it in list mode. It's not very
comfortable, but you can switch object browser into list mode, sort
objects by name, select all interfaces of your switch, and unmanage
them.
5. I will try to solve this mass manage/unmanage problem somehow in next
release - probably by implementing multiple object selection in tree
mode or adding operation like "unmanage all childs of current object".
6. Ctrl+M and Ctrl+U shortcuts really not working, I'll fix it in next
release.

Best regards,
Victor
