My preference :
The line doesn't need to be thick. Clicking it selects it (and shows it by changing the color, maybe making it thicker as well ), pressing delete removes it.
I think clicking on a line is just far too difficult to bother.
Handles of some sort to create segmented patch cords would be nice. As would the ability to rotate a client box over 90 degrees, so you have the connection at the top and bottom.
Another feature could be symbolic link objects. Sometimes you have a signal detour to some part of an app that is somewhere else on the graph and allready heavilly connected to all kinds of other stuff. A symbolic-link to foo:input12 foo:output12 could be nice then.
Whew, now this is getting complicated. :) These things are nice in modular synths, but wouldn't it be overkill in a patch bay?
hmm. i don't like this symlink idea. kinda kludgy to me, but that's surely a matter of taste.
how about a feature to collapse an arbitrary part of the graph into a black box? rubber-band a couple of jack clients, press ctrl-something and you get a blackbox with all inputs that originally went into the subgraph and all outs as well, which is labelled by default with a simple list of the clients inside, regardless of their ordering.
just an idea...
