List,

I've just commited a new shape: CommentShape. It is a shape that represents a 
comment inside a presentation. So far I'm happy with the results, but I have a 
few questions:
->Right now it lives in plugins/ but I wonder if, given that is KPresenter 
specific, we should rename it to KPrCommentShape and move it inside 
KPresenter.
->Is just not using background() and border() the proper way to ignore those 
settings?
->How can I make the shape not re-sizable but fully movable? right now there's 
geometryProtected but it packages both properties, which is not desirable for 
my use case. (This point is important.)
What I did, for now, is just ignore setSize();
->How can I stop the text-on-shape from picking up the text:p? (This point is 
*very* important.)
->How can I hide the comments and only make them visible while on a (yet to be 
commited) Comment Mode (tool)? is traversing the Shapes' tree and setting its 
visible property the proper way to do it?
->I'm thinking into bundling a text shape that would only be painted when the 
user clicks the main CommentShape. Is this right given that this is a shape 
and not a container shape? are there other solutions?
->Finally, how should I stop the user from inserting a comment while not in 
Comment Mode (is this desirable?, if not how the interaction should be, allow 
the addition of the comment and hide it as soon as it loses focus?)

I'd really like to hear your comments.
Thanks,
