One thing (among many) about Power Windows that really yanks my chain is that
there's no way to line up a column of things. I either have to squint and
try to resolve individual pixels by eye or enter the x,y coordinates by hand.
Both methods are unacceptable, especially when you need to go back and add
a new item in the middle. IMHO, a composition tool like this is nearly
useless unless it has one of:

	- snap to a grid (like DPaint)
	- snap to the edge of another object
	- a "Line Up" menu item which aligns all selected objects neatly

Please consider supporting something like this, if it's not already in there.
