Fresh install Shredder in ubuntu 10.10 has Personal Address Book as the active AB.  There is no way to get the list of available address books (which in Win TB 3.1 can be opened in a left-side pane.)

A double-click in Shredder can open the current address book (always PAB) and a drag on the left edge will open a pane with the list of address books.  However there is no way to make a selected AB become the active one.  (Which in Win TB 3.1 is done as expected with a double-click.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to select another address book
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
No way to do it

Expected Results:  
As in Windows TB Ver 3.1 the available ABs are listed in a left-side pane and a double-click can select any one from the list.

My guess is Shredder's "expand the left pane" functionality got left out and the list is really there - but can't be uncovered.
