...which is, or was up until not so long ago, the way most if not all
the tutorial examples taught us to use the tools.  I totally agree with
both "it's not a very good default" and "it's not PCB's default", but
if you want to be able to say that it's unqualifiedly not the default
then other parts of gEDA need to be let in on that plan.

Just sayin' - I haven't had occasion to use gschem/PCB since around
this time last year.  Too many projects, too little time.  :-(
