General Issues

No support for Administrator Mode in modules
Hardcoded size and use of QScrollArea to prevent resizing on module load is worse than resizing
Hardcoded layout (100px wide items) breaks when larger fonts are used
The item model is always sorted alphabetically
No menu, not sure if this is intentional, there is some menu code in the program.
No application icon!
Krush bug reports
