  I'll update to this.

the peer information on the right, would be better if there may be enough peers 
to make access via tab view awkward. If so, I apologize for leading you down a 
bad path out of ignorance of the underlying technology. What do you think?
  
  I attempted to make a list view awhile ago and because of the length of some 
of the fields (in particular the key fields which are each 44 characters long) 
I couldn't come up with anything that looked decent. I think the tabbed 
interface will be fine in the vast majority of cases, especially in a desktop 
environment where typically there will only be one peer. Considering that the 
previous version only allowed one peer to be specified, this is a big 
improvement so I think at least for now and probably the foreseeable future, 
the tabbed interface is the way to go.
