So if you select too much, how do you unselect, to get the 'perfect shape'?

Also, I think for kids who are drawing something sparse -- i.e., most of
their picture is background color -- a one-fell-swoop selection (like
rect, ellipse or lasso), with the addition of a 'snap to shape' would be
very useful for duplicating something they just drew.

Unfortunately, I see many ways of complicating the GUI, so I'd better
sit down and think about this more when I'm not doing 3 other things at
the same time. :)
