If you look at your FnordContainer ZClass you'll see a tab called
'subobjects'.  This contains a list of objects that can be added to your
container.  You must select one of these objects in order for the add
list to come up correctly.  It is a bug that ZClasses contained in a
ZClass ObjectManager don't show up in this list so you can specify them.
