Indeed - that's what I'd prefer too. My experience with 20080202 however 
was that one big rectangle had a tendency to fill incorrectly and leave 
large gaps. Multiple overlapping rectangles were my answer to that. Now 
with the CVS version I see that one big rectangle works correctly, so 
that's what I'll do from here-on out. Of course now I need to figure out 
how to get my Mac OS X Fink installation of PCB updated to be in sync 
with CVS.

Interesting. I believe that this grouping came from the default 
generated by gsch2pcb that 'ships' with the 20080202 rpm from fedora. 
Can I fix it simply by editing the 'Groups' block in the .pcb file?

Thanks for checking! It seems that I've acquired a lot of bad habits 
from to the rpm version...
