That's certainly the way I'd changed the code. The align-distribute code
is a bit of a haystack, though I thought I'd forced the target to
SELECTION when it aligns. Perhaps it obeys those options for the click
option, certainly considered a bug.

Some good ideas. The actual appearance is perhaps the most critical
part. I was thinking of an align selector hand, basically it would act
just like the normal hand tool but with different nodes, One align mode
one distribute mode. thoughts?

There's been a few requests for snapping too, but trying to work out how
the snapping manager works so I can snap the drag point. The other
handle operations do quite a complex dance with the snapping manager and
it can't be as complex IMO.

Martin,
