Milan,

Personally I prefer them without the box.

M> Show grantor

Yes. Possibly disabled, or even invisible, when not applicable.

Doesn't it? I was sure it was an addition in 2.5 or 2.6...

Agreed - see my other post.

M> That's a good idea.

sice we are discussing a view of privileges scoped on a particular
object, I don't think filtering is generally useful here. You see
everything related to the current object and that's it. We might want
to implement more sophisticated features like mass-granting/revoking
in the future, but I don't think those features belong in this
particular discussion. My 2c.
