Hi Ed,

I had a brief look at the code. This seems to be a good approach, and as 
you suggested, using the GBoxed geometry types as properties of the 
actual schematic objects (or would it be better to call them schematic 
elements?) makes good sense to allow the use of the "notify" event.

If we adapted the component manager code for Ivan's libeda stuff, how 
would you suggest naming the boxed types for an "Eda" prefix? 
"EdaGeomFoo"?

Ivan, what do you think of this?
