Summary: Reset Button Doesn't Provide Proper Feedback

Initial Comment:
Recently the behavior of the "Reset" button has changed
so that it doesn't reset the interactions unless
something had been previously interpreted in it.  Now
if you click on the button without doing anything in
the interactions pane, nothing happens at all (which is
hardly ever the right thing to do, since the user is
given no indication as to what is really going on).

I propose either:

1. Dissabling the "Reset" button until something is
executed in the interactions pane so the user knows not
to click it

2. Giving some sort of user feedback explaining
that/why the interactions pane didn't reset (so the
user doesn't feel frustrated and click the button 5
more times before realizing that this a feature and not
a bug)

I personally like the first option, but I don't know
how much refactoring would be required to implement it.
