[imp] applications "sensing" if they're called from DIMP?

[Liam Hoekenga]

Is there a way for another horde application to know that it's being 
called from within DIMP / is beind displayed in the DIV on the right 
side of the DIMP screen?

Say you've configured Turba such that...

     $conf['menu']['apps'] = array( 'imp' );

And you've configured DIMP such that...

     $conf['menu']['apps'] = array( 'turba' );

In DIMP, a user follows the "Address Book" link in the "action" pane 
(the pane on the left), or the "Address Book" tab in the "display" pane 
(the pane on the right).  They the Turba menu bar in DIMP's right pane, 
and decide that the way to get back to their mail is to follow the 
"Mail" button in Turba's menu bar... and now they're displaying 
traditional IMP inside of the "display" pane, which I think is a 
potential cause for confusion.

I kind of feel that it would make more sense if an application could 
tell that it's embedded in DIMP's "display" pane, and then for that app 
to not populate it's own menu with options that are already available 
from DIMP's "action" pane.  I.e.  if you load Turba within DIMP, it 
doesn't display the contents of Turba's $conv['menu']['apps'] *and* it 
probably shouldn't show the "Options" button on Turba's menu.  It may 
seem flexible to offer things in both locations, but I think it's going 
to confuse users.

Might it also be possible to wrap the embedded applications such that 
DIMP's display "tabs" that show up at the of each embedded application?  
I.e. a user launches DIMP - they see three tabs - Home,  Filters, 
Address Book.  They go into Turba, and they still see the three tabs - 
above Turba's normal menu bar, only now, "Address Book" is highlighted. 

Or is it possible to turn off the "tabs", and only have other 
applications show up in the "action" pane?

I think either would offer a more consistant user experience.
