 * Great plugin, I use it a lot – thanks.
 * I’ve just come across one problem. I’ve used the Members plugin to create a “
   Super Editor” role, which has all the capabilities of a normal editor, plus stuff
   like `manage_options` and `edit_theme_options`. Lets clients manage their sites
   fully without giving them access to risky (for them) techie stuff.
 * But it seems that even though they can manage widgets (because /wp-admin/widgets.
   php uses the capability `edit_theme_options` to check against), they can’t use
   Dynamic Widgets. I think this is because you’ve set the capability for your `
   add_submenu_page` call to `switch_themes`.
 * Could this be changed to `edit_theme_options`? It seems more appropriate.

 * Hi Steve,
 * Yes, I agree on that. Will be changed in the next version.
