yes, i was thinking of somehow chain-linking the fields and use something like
setconditional_value action to then update a set of fields within the config
based on the one "selector" field. was thinking of having it as an addition to
the sections in horde_form, but never got round to working out a syntax for
conf.xml in the end...
