Ditch the control manager. I really doesn't do anything for you unless you
plan to release a library of controlls to the world with a common interface.
I have discussed this with many people and the general concensus is that
it is a lot easier, and perhaps more efficient to do your own 'controlls'
directly using quickdraw. Use the control manager only for the things that
are already provided.
