What I envisioned with this was that there would be a "select" mode, 
that would allow you to select an object by clicking on it. Once an 
object was selected, it would somehow set the GUIMode on the canvas to 
"Edit This Kind of Object" mode.

That way, each object would define a GUI Mode to edit itself. With 
mixins and subclassing they would share a lot of code, but strictly 
speaking each object would only need to know about itself, and the 
Canvas wouldn't care, any editable object would behave the same.

HTH,
