--- Comment #20 from sergio.calleg...@gmail.com ---
Hi,

thanks for the clarification. I was asking precisely because there may be
different ways to address the enhancement request and developers may get
insight from a discussion where the possible use cases and envisaged solutions
are explicitly illustrated. In fact, this may help identifying the solution
that could address the needs of the widest possible basin of users.

What is unclear to me about the storage of the "protected position" flag is
whether you mean this to be stored together with the original position of the
object before it is placed in the theme gallery.

Would that mean that when an object is taken out of the gallery it would go to
that position and require the user to disable the protected position flag to
move it elsewhere?  This would be inconvenient. When one takes objects out of a
library of parts, these need to be placed in various positions. 

For instance, consider the already existing extensions providing electronic
components, logic gates, symbols for mechanical and hydraulic drawings, etc.
Let's focus on the logic gate case just to pick one. A drawing containing logic
gates may need to contain tens of "2 input AND gates" each in a different
position (and then tens of "OR gates", etc...), yet each with their terminals
grid aligned, so that when connectors are used to link them, the connectors
don't get funny skews and angles.

Hence, I just wanted to check that you properly considered placing many
identical objects at different places yet each with grid alignment with minimal
overhead.

In any case, thanks for the effort in trying to enlarge the spectrum of ideas
to address the enhancement request, which can indeed be useful.
