It should also possible to have the same item multiple times in the tree view.
For example in addition to the phonebook entries, there could be a node
named groups which each group as a child and phonebook entries in that
group as a further child.

It would be really nice if we could make it all drag and drop aware
so for example you could drag a ringer and drop it onto a phonebook
contact to associate that ringer with that phonebook entry.

There is also the question of how far we take this all.  I think it
is possible to get rid of the menu bar!  All the items in the menus
could be somewhere in the tree.
