Thanks Andy, but it is, IMHO, too big a behaviour change to check in 
without getting some agreement.

I'm actually not (in this case) worried so much about a serious bug, but 
more about a serious surprise for users.

I think this style is much better, though quite different - but I 
decided to give myself this week (i.e. until end of tonight, Friday) to 
work on it, then post to the users list to ask people to have a look and 
see what they think.

Incidentally,  I did get carried away .... so as well as the simple 
"panel display" change, it also has buttons for changing layers, moving 
the component (alternative to arrow-keys), and multiple component 
selection and  manipulation as well. Don't yet have all the obvious 
manipulations;  I've got move, align, distribute and equalize - haven't 
yet got delete, copy or re-layer - for multiple components.

(I do have separate diffs so can commit only the panel changes if I need 
to).

Anyway - look for a posting to the users list tonight with a version to 
take a look at.
