I'm kind of stumped here, but I'll keep trying to figure it out.

The way the list views work in this version is to truncate the first  
three characters, which may not be the best idea...

It does the "-  CONTEXT text" as coded.  When you took the "@"s away  
did you add a space (and leave the dash)?

As far as default state, I think it should always be a dash, a caret  
(INFO) or a * (PROJECT).  I see DELEGATED, WAIT, etc. to be follow-on  
states.

I'll modify UNWAIT to be UNDO STATE CHANGE.
