OK. This patch now uses only two connections: one to the maintenance DB, one
to a user selected one. They are the same at the beginning but can change if
the user selects another database. If he tries various databases, each
previous connection is closed before opening the new one unless the previous
one is the connection to the maintenance DB.

There's no more a connection toolbar. There is now a database combobox
available on the "standard" toolbar. It is filled at startup. Which means a
user cannot change his connection to an entirely different server.
Patch attached.
