[greasemonkey] Re: [Greasemonkey] Script manager redesign

[Michael Bierman]

I was hoping that you'd be able to see a list of scripts that were "acting"
on any particular page. (e.g. if a Script was triggered by specific
inclusion or if a script was looking for something like a H1--either would
be highlighted somehow if the page met the criteria to be applied.  


I realize that this will be different than the enabled/disabled icons we
have now which are universal for all open browser windows and tabs since
different pages displayed at the same time, will have different "active"
user scripts so this is perhaps more complicated and challenging.

Sorry, the list of scripts doesn't tell you everything that each script is
doing, but you can look at the info about the script (including the source).
At the very least, it will aid troubleshooters because you can quickly tell:
1) That Greasemonkey is a probable factor (smiling monkey. not terribly
useful, but it doesn't hurt. saves you time checking for user scripts when
none are running)
2) What scripts are running (the menu)
3) Easily disable those scripts (it would be sensible to show the manager
when the script name is clicked, from there you can disable it entirely or
fiddle with @include/@exclude)
