Hi Masi,

the problem atm i see is that changing WS needs to reload the whole BE.
I don't know the exact reason but i think it's because the workspace 
selector in Toolbar, correct me if i'm wrong.

Indeed this make sense to have the WS-selector on top of pagetree, and 
changing workspace would only reload pagetree,
good idea!
