No full path for config element pointers

Description

When selecting a config element pointer from the pull-down lists in VRJConfig, the name displayed is only the last name in the element "path". For example a keyboard event source inside a display window such as:

SimWindow?1/Event Source 0

Is just displayed in the pull down as "Event Source 0".

I think the UI would be clearer to use if the full path was displayed instead.

This is directly related to another bug: [948516] EventWindowProxy? configuration creates wrong file output.

From Aron Bierbaum:

There is a much larger problem with embedded elements than this bug. The issue is that if we do fix this bug, which I actually implemented, it completely breaks cluster configurations. Let's consider a simple case where there are two cluster nodes and a shared event_window. The event_window will have a value such as "Node(gimli)/Display0" for the event_source_name property. This is an issue because on the C++ side the Cluster Manager grabs the machine_specific element for the local node and throws the display_system and all display_window elements into the Configuration Manager as "Display0" not "Node(gimli)/Display".
