NessusClient: Planned improvements

Hello Nessus developers,

in order to prevent double work or uncoordinated work,
I though I drop a note on what I am currently (slowly!)
working on:

=2D Migrating monitor dialog to TreeView widget.
  Why: Current widget are marked deprecated. Also,
  it opens the opportunity to take advantage of the
  tree structure in order to aggregate domains.
  My current issues:
  - Progressbar cell renderer is only introduced
    in GTK+ 2.6. I can ifdef the code to have the
    new monitor dialog appear only for GTK >=3D 2.6.
    Alternatively it could be decided to raise minimum
    version of GTK+ to 2.6.
  - There is no cell renderer for button. Alternatives are:
    - Toggle is used and once switch on, the host is stopped
      and vanishes from the list
    - Our own cell renderer for button is implemented.
    - The "Stop" functionality is removed or realized
      in a different way.

=2D Implementing a memory-side Plugin-Description cache.
  Why: Memory consumption is currently high if you have
  switched on all the caching. Same plugins are kept in memory
   multiple times. Several strings are cached and some are zipped,
   but I think a real cache would lower memory consumption
   considerably.
   Issues: none so far. I just proceed on implementing this.

Please let me know if you have any comments. Espcially
let me know if anyone is already planning changes in the same
areas or in a way that would influence my current work.

All the best

	Jan
