Yes. The red border should be 'removed', but that's done by grid.remove
and maybe it doesn't work on PDF devices.
The solution is to use
trellis.focus("panel", row=1, column=1, highlight = FALSE)
(which happens automatically for non-interactive sessions).

Yes, it can be especially useful for tasks similar to identify().
Everything else can probably be done by clever enough use of the panel
function (though perhaps not as naturally).
