    Hi Marc,
            This is a great feature. I have sone additional requests though.

    If a user right clicks on an image, don't pop up the context menu, just
    put the drag controls around it.

    Also have you though of putting drag controls on the image for a left
    click too?

    I feel I'd like to able drag the image around. We could this via gtk drag
    'n drop. I have some examples of this already in abiword. Look at
    xap_unixFrame and xap_UnixToolbar.

    We could combine this with Pat's code to save screen images to implement
    text drag 'n drop.

    Cheers

    Martin
