It seem like the top-level setting for such interfaces would HAVE to offer 
the user to choose the "context/theme" of Modules to include, unless only 
one was being used, and/or defer to a default...

The personal context would be very different, i.e. I would think about Bugs 
differently, need info about Bugs Modules - Active Bugs in a different 
manner than I would think about, require info about Projects Clients - 
Active Projects...

Maybe we would want to think about these "themes" (I like "contexts" ) this 
way.  An admin could activate a "context" (other than a default) and we 
could generate a Horde:menu link for it, which could set a default 
"context" variable for all whups functionality through that link, including 
the "themes-like" interface functionality that Eric proposed, and limiting 
all search/queries/reports, actually, ALL interface and data interaction to 
this preset "filter"...

It seems that whups "Help" for these different "contexts" would also change 
tremendously.  How could this be handled?
