I've thought of that, but I can't seem find a way to get the ghost image of
the text on the cursor. I would like the user to have the visual feedback of
how much space the text string takes up so they can place it in a clear area
of the plan. This would be similar to what you would get if you manually
used the move command on the piece of text.
If I could find a way to call move command on the text (not the move method
of the text object) I could then place it at 0,0 and use the move command.
