[sldev] Popup ordering patch

[Able Whitman]

One idea I explored (but didn't implement) while working on the patch for
VWR-650 was the addidion of a checkbox on permission dialogs that said
something like "[ ] Remember my choice for this object". That way you'd only
have to grant an object permission once, at least until it was re-rezed.
