Todo item:

Improving UI visualization of using Material nodes:
- Property editor: the context top line now shows the linkage path
  (in material and texture view mode)
- Activating new material node refreshes preview in property editor
  when in texture mode.

This should make editing textures with node materials a bit more clear.
