From what I have been able to work out with ibuild, I can only construct
interfaces which use the basic tools supplied. what I want to do however is
to place in the interface a canvas or graphic on which I would be performing
direct drawing operations using a Painter. Alternatively I may want to stick
my own scene in the interface and do manipulations on that. Is this possible
using ibuild or do I have to do everything by hand by deriving from the Editor
class etc, like idraw and ibuild do.

I guess the real question is is it possible to have plain Interactors and
Scenes as tools in the menu down the bottom of ibuild.

Also, is the Ibuild User's Guide the only documentation on ibuild, there doesn't
seem to be a normal manual page. Admittedly I did have one file corrupted when
I fetched everything, I have since got it again and believe I have a complete
lot of src and documentation.
