Update on Auto-restore/Sync issues between Hub and Desktop

After chatting with Morgen, here's the latest on keeping collections  
in sync between Hub and Desktop

1. Morgen has added a dialog where users can select which collections  
they want to sync from their sharing accounts. For now, this list  
does *not* include subscriptions. See comment 14 on bug 10971 below.

2. Adding subscriptions to the list of collections you can sync is  
logged as bug 10983 (see below) and can be phased in 2 stages:
+ Sync subscriptions from sharing accounts down to desktop client
+ Sync subscriptions from desktop client up to sharing accounts

3. There will be a a new 'Sync Manager' menu item where this  
functionality can be accessed. See bug 11334 below. The 'Sync  
Manager' will eventually include things like 'Set Auto-Sync' For now,  
it will only support #1 above.

4. When deleting published collections from your sidebar, you can now  
choose whether you want to leave the collection on the server or not.  
I tweaked the language in the dialog. See bug 11333 below.

5. I logged a new bug 11331 to keep track of some half-baked ideas  
for expanding the Sync Manager dialog.
