====================

Ok, I am compiling the latest CVS right now in hopes that some of these
problems will disappear.  I had the chance to test the 1.1.1 version on
a customer's computer in the meantime, only to find that you could
"modify" lines the same as any other object.  It allowed me to turn off
"text flow" and thus allow the text not to be upset in the text box. 
When all those things got moved to the Properties tool, somehow the
ability to work with just lines got lost.  Text flow around objects is
set as the default though, so we just need a way to turn it off.

I still experienced the problem of bringing things to the front or
sending them back and adding text to a text box upsets the the natural
order of things in selecting objects.  My tests and experiments
continue.  Expect further results from the newly compiled Scribus.  Ya
gotta use it to find them bugs, so let's have another pint and use it
some more!  ;o)
