I agree...
Another thing about that interface that seems relevant here is that when
You pressed the "Change" button in the planet view You got the
worklist...

I agree that having both a worklist and a change dialog is probably not
such a good idea... And it is true that a newbie might be confused if
there was no change-button... But I think it would be very much ok to
have the Change-button trigger a switch to the worklist... Then all
effort can be turned to optimize the worklist interface... MoOII has
shown that it can be done nicely...

What do You think about that?
