All of that said. there should be one new window that holds all of 
these effects and menus so you can see a small quick example work area 
that shows a close proximity of what will happen on the stage.

Or... We could take a page from Motion and use drag and drop attach 
effects for objects and the floating N menu could have all of the basic 
controls that alter the effect.

The idea would be some much cleaner and a nice origination of 'effect 
primitives'

We could have all of these without physics yet.
expositions
water
wobble
basic directional movement
scale
rotate
fire
smoke
shake
ice
break
stick
and so forth...

There are lots of example files floating around but keeping files and 
files and then trying to remember to append them constantly is counter 
productive.

Eh just ideas..
