   Possible fixes for this "finger problem" might be implemented
in a couple of ways on some future system release: 
   1. Attempting to multiple-select an icon cancels any selection
previously made on icons of a different class;
   In this case, multiply-selecting TOOL icons would automatically
drop selection of the drawer; similarly, multiple selection of
PROJECTS would drop any previously selected tools...
   Possible problem: drawers-within-drawers situation where the
user could STILL inadvertently leave the "parent" drawer selected as
inner drawers were picked out.
           -- OR -- (probably a better idea)
   2. Everything multiply-selected must be within one drawer or disk.
Tagging something within a new drawer-type structure would drop
previous selections made outside that structure.  (Does anyone
really multiply select icons scattered across many drawers/disks?)
