Summary: Reconsider grabbing of selected objects

Initial Comment:
When objects are selected, they can be grabbed and moved from anywhere within the selected bounding boxes. This is somewhat inconsistent with the behaviour used to select them in the first place (which required either a direct hit, or a hit inside a filled object, or complex).

Consider testing usability of gschem with the logic to pickup and grab selected objects applying a similar heuristic. This would then allow you to drag -select the second line. Currently, after one is selected, attempting to start a drag-select within its bounding box will just cause it to move.
