[Design] Manage Share/Collection Sharing dialog

[Mimi Yin]

One final question. How hard would it be to allow users to change  
accounts on shares on the fly.

e.g. I shared this to .Mac, now I want to switch that over to Cosmo.  
Basically, you select a different account from the pulldown and  
you're given the option to re-publish to the new account.
