Subject: fixed using freeformview in sidebar of pdfs. fixed issues with
 dragging items out of schema and with selecting the schema view by clicking
 on headers.  Fixed a lot of errors caused by using OmitKeys which masks type

Subject: removed arrangeItems context button for collections to make it a
 funciton on drop instead of a reaction.  Converted isLinkButton to be an
 onClick script.  got rid of unused PARAMS field on templates.   fixed
 PresElementBox rendering of embedded docs.
