So this pretty much mean that if i want to have my own view, i'm better off 
building the menues and all the rest of the UI on my own and not use the 
CmsAdminMenu, etc.  Right?     Being so new to this i don't know what i'd be 
missing if i create my own menu, and things, Other than maby the automated 
look and feel... Can you share some knowledge here?

Thank you very much.
