I need some UI opinions here....

What's the best way to disconnect ports?  I've thought of:

- putting a handle in the middle of connection lines, so you can
right-click them to get a menu

- making the lines really thick, same deal as above

- just being able to right click a port and disconnect all connections
(with the obvious disadvantage of forcing you to maybe disconnect
something you don't want to)

- clicking on the source port then the dest port (just like connecting),
except if they're already connected, disconnect them


Ideas?  Opinions?

-Dave
