 ok :)

 something like that... yeah.  i've been experimenting with x11
settings recently so haven't fired up PADS in a while (as X11 crashes
terminate the QEMU VM with prejudice, which is bad).  i remember that
the priority was to get the layer-changing points to be running
east-west, because in previous iterations having them run NE<->SW was
a disaster.  that in turn had knock-on effects back down the line..
