 I've just noticed that the "New object editor" buttons also work with window 
 objects in the Window Selector. This means that my request should be 
 amended:
 
 1. The buttons should be disabled if neither the Layout Constructor not the 
 Window Selector is currently focussed.
 
 2. The object of the button-click would depend on which window is currently 
 selected.
 
 Regards,
 Peter Gummer
