Ok, after an astoundingly short (five minute) search, I found the solution
to the polygon problem: whoops. RTFM, I suppose.

However, my other two questions still stand:

Also, this is a two layer board: the top layer traces are in the component
layer, and the bottom layer traces are in the >solder layer. Should I place
the ground plane in the solder layer as well? Or should I put it in the GND
layer to >differentiate it from the traces on the bottom of the board?

And one last thing: Some of the vias have rectangular copper bits around
them, presumably to catch more solder and >create a little heat sink (just a
guess: I really don't know). So far, I've just been placing vias and drawing
the rectangular >copper sections by hand: is there a better way?

Thanks much,
