[Engine-devel] static header only in VM dialog?

when reviewing the code for the "redesign of vm related dialogs", Daniel has 
raised an interesting question: Why do we want the static header only in VM dialog?

(I assume that he refers to the top section of the New VM dialog as seen in [1], which 
contains the DC/Cluster, Quota, etc information, and is "static", i.e., it is always 
displayed, regardless of the selected side-tab within the dialog)

I agree with what Daniel is implying here: for consistency, we would probably want to 
introduce this static header to other dialogs, at least to the ones that also contain 
side-tabs in which it makes sense to turn the "header" to static 
[e.g. 
"New Host" (which contains a DC + Cluster "header") - see http://oi39.tinypic.com/2z84xnp.jpg, 
"New Cluster" (which contains a DC "header") - see http://oi40.tinypic.com/2vmyj2x.jpg]

[I assume, of course, that all the VM-like dialogs (e.g. New/Edit VM-Pool) will also have 
static headers - I don't know if the patch already takes care of that or not]

Thoughts?

[@Daniel - if you had something else in mind, and/or other dialogs in mind - please feel free 
to add/amend/etc]

Thanks,
