Build 20020129

The selected property page (Properties from context menu in Navigator) is not 
currently persisted between sessions, or even between invocations in the same 
session. 

Proposal: 

Save the selected property page (its id) between invocations in the same 
session. 
If the next invocation has the remembered page, show it. 
If not, show the default page ("Info"). 
This allows the user to easily access the same property page for different 
selections. 
Do not save the selected page between sessions. 
This avoids eager plugin loading since the default page ("Info") is provided by 
the Workbench. 
(It also avoids having to handle missing plugins.)
