[hobbit] noprop tag suppresses too much

[Kauffman, Tom]

I'm trying to avoid doing alerts on test environments AND keep the
management staff from freaking out when a test system has an issue.

Putting it on the "all non-green" page would be enough, I think. They
actually do show up (indirectly) on the "all non-green", but only in the
detailed event list, and only if they've transitioned in the last four
hours.

I'm just about to leave on a 4-day D/R phun & phrolic, followed by two
weeks of much-needed R&R -- when I get back, I get to re-build my hobbit
server on a 'new' system. I'll be going with the most current release at
that point.

It is ever so much easier to document the 'hobbit on SuSE' install as
compared to the 'BB + RRD + LARRD + BBGEN on SuSE' install; for this
alone you have my thanks!

Not doable, I'm afraid.

You *might* be able to convince me that it should show up on the
"all non-green" page, but currently the idea is that when put a
"noprop" on a status, it doesn't show up anywhere except on the
page where it's hosted.
