I have been fixing stuff in the breakinsets3 branch these days, so that 
the remaining issues are
- display of labels of floating insets is very basic.
- cursor positioning is incorrect in bidi documents
- input methods display may be broken (I trust Koji can fix that)

I think it is time for a new round of testing. I need everybody's 
thoughts on :

- is it better to have
   * a label that spills on neighbors
   * a label that is removed when there is not enough room
   * a label that is cut when there is not enough room
   * some extra whitespace around the insets so that there is enough 
room for the label. Note that this is (1) difficult to do and (2) can be 
ugly is an inset has a small part on one row and a small part n another 
row and the label is a bit long.

- shall the label be
   * on each line (like now)
   * on the first line
   * on the longest line

Note that if there is no label for a given part of flowing inset, it is 
possible to have a tooltip that gives the information.
