I actually dislike the idea of having "clicking modes" - We might
have "clicking locations" - ike, clicking in the handlers always do resize,
and just draw the handlers so that no text falls inside them.
Certain programs that do use the "two modes" for editing and dragging the
text container are an absolute PITA to use exactly due to this. (OOo
anyone?)
