when creating new objects, i find i need to move them and/or resize them
right away. i find counter-intuitive that clicking in one of the green handles,
it actually creates another object. the green handles apparently just
denote the object being selected, but then, i cannot select any other object
in this mode!
i think that selection and/or resizing would be a good use of the middle button,
or perhaps button 1 with shift? some interface exprest should perhaps step in.
(btw, i think the gimp has a good interface in this sense.)
another question would be if clicking in the handles should automatically
put you in "modify object" mode. ...
while one can get used to anything, a good interface makes a long way to make a
program usable.
