It's also in the dtml in :
CMFDefault/skins/content
CMFDefault/skins/generic

Which would be pretty easy to change. It might be nice for the
Actions box to automatically be able to iterate over other workflows
also, but expect that is why you intend to make WorkflowTool
folderish instead of just adding a mechanism to specify what
'default' workflow each object needs to use. Would make it easier
to iterate over the workflows in dtml, no?

I'm working on it. :^)

Thanks
