Extend the available tasks for pages in the pages list

[Carlos]

That is the reason that I suggest that GS allows plugins to replace this page with more powerful versions.

While this does not replace GS's Page Admin default, you can easily change the backend start page by a small patch to the core:

My suggestion for GS team is: add a GSADMINSTARTPAGE (or whatever) constant with value 'pages.php' to gsconfig, then use it in /admin/configuration.php line 18. That way you could define the default for a GS install.
It would also be nice being able to define different start pages for each user that override that default.

edit: in the last line maybe I'm asking too much and may not be so needed... :-) ignore it...
