[Qgis-developer] Clarifying access to non geographical datas

[Etienne Tourigny]

I thinks it's a great idea also.

Here is a simple modification (screenshot attached) which could keep
the buttons in the toolbar but merge them into one pop-up button. This
saves a lot of space and keeps existing functionality.  The icon is
not great, just a first stab.

Nathan's browser button could be placed next to that.
