This is the right way to go IMO, Larry/all. We added the Selectable option while building the Image framework, to avoid having image bounding boxes selected all the time. But we never pushed this out to be visible to the user. Time to do it, I guess!
Have you thought about how to make this visible on the UI? Maybe by changing the layer icon somehow? It's always nice to have state visible to the user, so that he doesn't get confused about why things don't appear to be working like normal.
