> 'Bounds draw types for objects'
>  doesn't mean you won't be able to select bounds as drawtype for an object,
> it's a droplist where you can select if there are bounds drawn additively to
> the mesh, and there are several types to choose from(sphere, cylinder, cone,
> e.t.c. ). the option is quite uselessly displayed in the object draw
> options, but is of crucial importance in the game engine physics panel, and
> it's the same property(or 2 props linked?)! I didn't know that, and as a GE
> user, I am now definitely against the removal of such feature, but I guess
> in the ui it should go away from the draw options(the placement there
> probably is why brecht put it to the list).Instead, there could be a
> checkbox if to draw or not to draw.
