Yeah, this is a bit tricky.  I can see the big win -- the city window
would always display the worklist, with a single item being the len-1
worklist.  The hard part is figuring out how to display another list in
the city dialog.  I simply don't know how to do so in a clean fashion.  So
I'll let someone else try.  8)

In the mean time, I am adding a "(from worklist)" annotation to the
current build target in the city and city report dialog, when the city is
chugging on a worklist.  Not really what you're concerned about, but handy
nonetheless.

I find that this is also my MO most of the time.  Maybe I need a Prepend
button in addition to Insert?  I'll add it and see how it looks.
