For navigating, use the option key with the mouse. If you have a mouse with
more than one button there are utilities which will do the mapping for you.

I don't think you remember correctly ;-) The "center" of the camera is the
little cross you see in the mirror (which in fact is the cross you see
centered on the screen). As you may notice in the mirror this cross isn't where the
nose of the penguin is and that's what the "black triangle" is.

Depends on what you mean by "intentional" - e.g., there is code that makes
it happen but right now the names don't serve any particular purpose.

That's correct. There simply isn't anything "to click on" yet.

We know about this.

You need to close the window - they don't play by the rules trying to
forcefully put themselves in front of everything and not reacting correctly if you
want to send them to the back.
