Hmm, there are a few gpcb-menu.res files scattered on my hard disk. How 
does pcb decide which to pull in?

Well, it is the version with the big black 3d knob on the left. Does this 
count as really, really old?

My two cents to this debate: The default bindings should include an 
immediate access to rotate when moving components or symbols around. The 
current default with pcb requires to change to the rotation mode. This is 
a bit awkward.
