65/** central interface to query for, create, destroy and manipulate user
66    interface elements which are bound to a layout manager.
67
68    <p>
69    Every user interface element which is controlled by a layout manager has
70    a unique identifier called resource URL.
71
72    A resourcce URL must meet the following syntax:
73    "private:resource/$type/$name". It is only allowed to use ascii characters
74    for type and name.
75
76    Currently the following user interface element types are defined:
77    <ul>
78        <li><b>menubar</b>A configurable user interface element representing
79        a menu bar.</li>
80        <li><b>popupmenu</b>A configurable user interface element representing
81        a popup menu.</li>
82        <li><b>toolbar</b>A configurable user interface element a tool
83        bar.</li>
84        <li><b>statusbar</b>A configurable user interfave element representing
85        a status bar.</li>
86        <li><b>floater</b>A basic user interface element representing a
87        floating window.</li>
