The problem is that you cannot map any privacy list onto this format.
This wouldn't be a problem if Psi was the only client in the world, but
other clients can make slightly different lists. And then you get into
trouble.

The dialog in itself, i don't think is a lot easier to use than what
i proposed. The legend thing, and the 1 column for every type looks
good though; i might integrate something like that to inline the rules in my 
proposition.

But the incompatibility with other privacy lists is a problem with this
kind of dialog, which is why IMO it should not be the central privacy list
dialog.
