Rendering the header in the map composer

From:: Sebastian Benthall

I'm working on a ticket that requires an additional panel in the 'north'
part of the map composer application (to display the map's title and 'more
info' link)

Mostly so far I've just been tentatively poking and trying to remember my
Ext fu.

One interesting bit I've found is this:

http://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/blob/master/src/geonode-client/src/script/app/GeoExplorer.js#L867

After the header panel renders, it pulls in its content from the app-header
div that is created in the template

Later, while trying to figure out how to do something else, I came upon this
config option which appears to do the same thing:


http://www.sencha.com/deploy/dev/docs/source/Component.html#cfg-Ext.Component-contentEl

I was wondering if there was any reason in particular we were using the
event driven method rather than the config option, or if it seemed to
anybody else a good idea to change it.

I didn't think to look for an option to do this when I was writing it, 
no problem at all with switching to contentEl.
