dashboard mode setting not reflected in shell

[gureckis]

for someone launching shell and dashboard at same time the mixed states is confusing. you can have the dashboard talking to 'live' and the shell still talking to 'sandbox'

I had to be really careful with the dashboard mode, since multi server threads could lead to crazy conditions of the mode changing on page refresh. The dashboard sets and reads a server cookie to know the mode. But are you saying the mode used at config launch is not used by the dashboard? I think it's impossible for the shell to know the browser's mode cookie, and vice versa, impossible for the dashboard to know any shell's current mode.

Yeah short of storing the current mode in a database "settings" table somewhere (overkill, I think), I think there's no way around this. Do you want to update the docs somewhere to point this out? Where would be good?
