To throw in an extra idea...  For a long time I have been using a patch that 
puts BASE0 and the title of the root folder in the ZMI top bar. The reasons 
for wanting this should be appreciated by anyone who has ever had two browser 
windows open for two different zope sites, and made a change in the wrong 
one.

The patch is in toby-zmi-title-branch (the branch tag is only on the 
lib/python/App/dtml directory)
