Good point: I'll have a go at adding delete tonight/tomorrow. Will
test with Konqueror. We probably need a proper non-keypress control
for the background layer control (Jamie Munro pointed this out on the
wiki, too).

Yes, this is a bit of a problem. At high zoom levels, the line-width
is 1, but just zoomed in a lot; and Flash doesn't let you reduce it
further, for some reason. I'm thinking about it!

Not as yet, but it's on the list.

It doesn't, I'm afraid, no.

You could do it with shift-F2 if F2 worked! Sorry: I'll work on a
slider or similar.
