Some people desperately want a select-only mode back and while I  
would prefer to have a coherent user interface, it is not impossible  
to just reinstate a select-only mode, maybe simply in addition to  
what we have.

A fourth option that has been suggested is that you would only move  
stuff that has been selected in a previous step, i.e. you would not  
click on a node, hold the mouse button and immediately move it;  
instead you'd have to release the button to complete the select  
action, then click again to initiate the move action.

Bye
Frederik
