--- Comment #9 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
@Heiko, no it was intentional.  There was some misunderstanding of the issue as
it was poorly stated. Thus it was not an easy hack. An adjustment to the icon
was tangential.

There is a substantive UX issue here for efficiently exposing the object
anchors when the specific object (here the containing Frame of an image, or for
Draw objects) is not selected active.  Obviously continue to show the anchor
and its dimension outlines on the canvas rulers *when selected*; but show the
anchors for all objects with the other formatting marks when toggled enabled. 

Such exposure would provide visual hints as to content layout on canvas--more
immediately needed with broader move to as-character/to-character anchoring and
suppression of to-page anchoring.

The whole class of anchors need to be better exposed visually on canvas--the
<ctrl>+F10 toggle of formatting marks seems a reasonable control. While the
individual anchor "types" should probably be labeled and color coded.
