It's a UI mess waiting to happen as well. control-alt-cokebottle all over again. http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/C/cokebottle.html except now control is on 'e' and alt is on 'p' if you're using left mouse, but control is on 'q' and meta is on 'b' if you're using right mouse, and if you're using the trackball and button-7 (Yes, a Microsoft Optical Trackball has 7) all bets are off... (I know Paul has half a clue regarding UI design - I'm mentioning this as a warning to the 2,493 people on this list who think they have a clue and don't....)
