After populating a graph pane with nodes, I hoped I could
persist that pane, ie: persist which nodes are chosen and where they
are positioned, a misunderstanding on my part.

Now I see the value of graphcanvas's "links"

If I _link_ the nodes I've chosen to live on the pane, _that_
relationship is persisted.

Of course the GC links have more value than persistence,
which will be revealed as I use them more.

Thanks,
Kent
