	Uggg. Doh. Fixed. I'll check in the bug fix (along with some other
fixes/additions) later this evening.   Sort of amusing, the if() right
after that line checks for an empty selection list.  I just needed another
check.  You are tarnishing my "no segfault" policy, Stefan.  Stop it. 
<grin> Thanks for the bug report.

	I don't know about anybody else, but I use them on a daily basis.
I spend my days copying, moving, rotating, mirroring, deleting,
_detaching_, _attaching_, and _toggling visibility_ on attributes.
I *NEED* those options. :->  Of course I use the hotkeys almost 100%
so I guess you are correct, I'll remove all the pulldown menus. <g>
Seriously, I use those options.

	Edit/Edit is not just used edit attributes, but to edit text, 
edit components (granted the attributes attached to the component), and 
will be used for Matt's multi multi dialog box and might end up with
some other uses.  Is Edit/Edit... not a good general name, or is it too
general?

(That reminds me, Matt, I'll look at why multi multi died in the selection 
code upgrade tonight)
