Right - when I talk about having a single startup, I'm not just
talking about the app server, but the browser and initial page load as
well. It may pay to have a function we can call that would reset the
treeview and the tabset, thus allowing us to reset the view cheaply
between groups of tests (assuming we might have a number of tests that
could all run in the same query tool instance for example).
