Now I got an idea someone could shoot an instruction video demonstrating all
these features. When stupid products in TV teleshopping can have demostration
video footage, an useful product like PCB could have too ;-)

However it would be a lot of work and don't know about anyone who would have
the necessary artistic abilities for this to end up reasonably. And also
I think it's at least difficult to do nonlinear cutting of video on Linux.

So that I fear my idea is actually bad ;-)
