You can either sub-class if you want to explicitely specify the products
you want an objectmanagerish class to add - this would also nicely solve
all your ZMI "problems" since you could just skin your new pages as you
want. Or for the easy way have a look at the Security Tab, specifically
at the "Add FooBar..." stuff there.
