It's curious, because footprints in pcbedit not loaded when starting KiCad and 
can be modified without restarting pcbedt. What's the big difference between 
schematic and layout _libraries_?
It's really curious why the same actions (move and copy block for example) looks 
totaly differnet in eeschema and pcbedit. Why the same code not reused, why not 
to use power of inheritance?
