I have the same problem, and I am merrily hacking the categories.php file to provide just that capability.
I’m having one problem that some guru out there may be able to help with.
When I navigate to Manage – Categories I get a display of the categories that somehow has not been generated by categories.php — In fact it was generated by a version of categories.php that I had hacked a few hours ago. Links on the screen will use the latest categories.php to generate new screens, so I know the latest version has been uploaded. The only thing I can think is that the initial page is coming from a cache somewhere.
Where?

Problem solved!! Some database logon issues and a quick call to my hosts support line. (Iv’e been talking with a tech within 15 sec every time (3) I’ve called! Lets hear it for good support)

Thank to all for helping

Another theory bites the dust.

I have an idea what it might be.
The new site is what the host calls an ‘add-on’ domain, which seems to be a subdomain with a rewrite rule in .htaccess to make it look like a top-level domain (sound familiar?).
When I copied the site, the .htaccess ended up in the subdomain where it doesn’t count. I just have to merge it into the .htaccess in the base domain.

Good theory anyway.

When I downloaded the site I made sure not to download the cache. Just checked again, no cache

Changed ‘home’ and ‘site-url’ to point to new site

No change.

No Go

1) Erased the entire new site
2) Downloaded the old site to local
3) Uploaded local to the new site
4) Used Old site’s admin to backup database
5) Used new sites phpadmin to create new database
6) Used new site’s phpadmin to restore backup DB
7) No error – tables look right.
8) Edited new wp-config.php for new database info.
9) Called up new site’s wp-admin.php
10 Got old site’s home page

???

Spoke too soon. That reference tells me to open the database, but a database has not been created yet. Tried a new install, but that insists that I remove my content first. I tried replacing the old domain name with the new, but going to the new admin gets me to the old site (not the old admin — even though the browser address display claims I’m at the old sites admin.php ).

My last hope is
Fresh install on new site
carefully tranfer all the content.
backup old database
restore to new database (Why doesnt the admin database backup page also restore??)

I’m getting discouraged.

Thanks — just the clue I needed
