[trunk/7.0][regression] cannot set view type when creating new view in interface

observed:
when you create a new view (Settings > User Interface > Views > create view), you the type field is readonly.

expected:
you could choose the type of of the view to create

observation:
eventually this could be achieved using a fnct_inv in the code. To avoid unlimited recursion with the get type method, it could set the value using SQL as it's done at other places in OpenERP such as in the stock module.
Now yes, without extra care, you could end up with inconsistent values in the arch and the view type.
I suggest that in the fnct_inv method, you also replace the view type tags in the view arch, just like you use them to deduce the view type.

With this, user is currently practically unable to add views using the user interface, this somewhat kills OpenERP out of the box flexibility promises. If you really want to forbid view creation, I think you would better do it in a consistent way then. But I doubt this was the intent.

Hope this helps.
