Description

Should Web Client behave like the web or try to emulate an application?
Should we have right-click menus, double-click handling, shift-click etc?

Summary of my opinion:

Web should use all right-click, double-click functionality etc in order to emulate Insight functionality as close as possible.
No web functionality should rely on right-click, double-click to access it. I think this is already true for Insight?
Web and Insight should attempt to have everything in the same place, layout etc.
Gradually migrate functionality from Insight to web (prioritise most-used functions) BUT also review Insight at the same time, since it contains some stuff that we might want to clean up.
Bevelled borders vv 'flat' UI has little effect on user's expectations. (if it *behaves* like an application (e.g. collapsible trees), users will expect application-like functionality).

Summary of Ola's opinion (hope I've got this right)

Need to review various available web applications to asses their use of 'non-web' behavior (right-click, double-click etc)
Bevelled borders and other UI features are important clues to users about how the UI will behave: "If it *looks* like the web it'll behave like web".

Closing this since I think we have decided the web client can have App-like behaviour (double-click, right-click etc).
