Bullet pointed tips, purely because that's how they escaped from my
brain :-)

- This should be on the Tools menu, not the View menu.

- Use a single factory, and a check/uncheck menu option. See the changes
I made to the pg_stattuple stuff as an example of a check option.

- The menu option should probably become something like 'Trigger enabled?'

- pgTrigger::Enable/DisableTrigger should manage the state of the
enabled flag themselves - you should not have to change that from the
factory.

- If Enable/Disable trigger don't work for some reason, StartDialog
should exit without doing anything else as a general rule.

Otherwise it looks OK though - certainly looks like you've got the hang
of the factories :-)
