You can specify the exact *absolute* co-ordinates by selecting the 
footprint and selecting Edit from the context menu.   However, you can't 
(AFAIK) enter relative co-ordinates or polar co-ordinates (of any kind), 
both of which would be nice to have.

Graphical lines are awkward in that there is no way at all of typing in 
precise co-ordinates (short of editing the board file in a text editor).

Regards,

Robert.
