I just can't get used to radial turning, I find it obnoxious, and know
many who feel the same. Linear was obvious to me. Radial was very
non-obvious.

no! Having the two axes mean different things is bad. No one mouses in a
perfectly straight line.

There really needs to be some global option for radial vs. linear knobs.
I want all my knobs linear, always.
so I see:
* left-click = coarse asjust (radial or linear)
* ctrl+left-click = fine adjust
* double-click = edit
I don't like a 'reset' button. Reset to what? 0? the preset? the last
save-point? If there has to be a 'reset' it should be in the context menu
(though I guess I don't feel too strongly about it :)
Too many clicky options is confoosing.
