gEDA-user: Component selector dialog

Is there any way to disable the "hide and place" method?  From a
usability standpoint it's just wrong, specifically having the escape
key bring a dialog back from the dead.

The right actions should be:

OK - place the selected component, remove dialog (permanently)

Apply - place the selected component, leave dialog up.

Cancel - revert to previous mode, remove dialog (permanently)

Usability-wise, "escape" should never cause something to be *created*
or *started*.  It's a stop button, not a start button.
