So once we allow more than one run dialogue, this is even more
important. So they should show the filename/workflow name like in the
'Workflows' menu?

OK, but this opens a new can of worms, unfortunately.. what about the
File menu while in the Runs perspective? Edit/undo, Insert, View, none
of these make much sense while looking at a current run, together with
all tool bar buttons except possibly New and Open.

Perhaps we could just grey them out when there is not a 'workflow'
view on screen? (Requiring a switch to Design to do a Re-run)
