It'd be -really- cool if the tool didn't have a dialog box, but was totally
mouse driven. Here's how I'd like it to work:

Step 1:
 Click the tool button. :)

Step 2:
 Click where you want to write the text and
 proceed to write the text. The bubble appears,
 dynamically resizing.

|                      ||        |

 During this step, you can also move the
 bubble around by clicking and dragging it.

|                                |
|                                |
|        .=======.               |
|       : This is :              |
|       : a test. ;              |
|        "======="    ~..        |
|                     .>>.       |
|                      ||        |
|________________________________|

 By clicking and dragging -outside- the
 bubble, you can preview the pointer.

|                                |
|                                |
|        .=======.               |
|       : This is :              |
|       : a test. `.             |
|        "=======---` ~..        |
|                     .>>.       |
|                      ||        |
|________________________________|

 If the mouse button is realeased at
 this stage, the bubble is drawn as
 it is currently displayed. To cancel
 this, one has to drag the cursor
 inside the bubble, i.e. "retract" the
 pointer, as it were... :) Now we can
 move the bubble and edit the text
 again.

Step 3:
 Marvel at the wonderful features
 of JavE. :)


Is this impossible to implement? Well, it sounds like a lot of work, but you did
ask, Markus. :)
