In this vein, let me add the following:

	- Move arbitrary grouping of objects simultaneously
	- Movement without having to select a menu item, just click and
	   drag, click and drag, ... ad infinitum.
	- Auto-attach to edge of window -- for border gadgets
	- Easy deletion/cloning (ie, don't have to select menuitems before
	   each iteration)
	- A 'scratchpad' area to save gadgets while rearranging -
