One issue with that particular control is  that it relies on frames,
which Seaside doesn't support very well.  That's one of the things
that I plan to look at doing a better job with in 2.6 - not just
frames, but in general having multiple separate but communicating
trees of components, so that things like popup windows work better
also.

So one piece of advice I might have for now is to try to recreate that
control in a way that used divs instead of frames...
