I started to implement one thing or another. Please review, I don't do much 
with the GUI-related API of Qt ;-)

Todo/questions:

- how can I make a QToolButton "flat"? sadly there is no setFlat() method :( 
And   m_setButton->setAutoRaise(true); still has a background that I cannot 
remove, even with setting a NoRole as backgroundRole...

- are the icons for load/close working set OK or should we request new ones? I 
abused the project icons

- can we decrease the font size here?

- how could I increase the visual separation between title (so far only 
"Working Set" but I plan to make that optionally editable inline)?

good n8
