Original Target Release: mako_dev; Suggested Target Milestone : Dev


Description:
Gotten feedback from customers that this is confusing... so logging RFE for the
future...

Primarily usability issue - not sure if the "warning" should could be done when
opening a project or just when the designer opens a web page which is bound to
data components.  But it looks really scary when you open a page and it's not
"how you left it" - things are red, dummy data is gone, etc.....  so if we can
turn things red, can't we give them a dialog "cannot access the xxx datasource"?

Similarly, if library references can't be found we should warn them.

Evaluation:
Val had duplicate bugs, I closed the later one but then noticed it had an
evaluation, thus I am adding it back here:

Mark and I spoke about this awhile ago and it just came up when talking to
another new user... so I entered it in so we can remember :)  We will look at it
for 1.1.
