another good idea - you're just full of them this weekend, mmm? ^_^
let's see... i suppose probably the easiest way that doesn't introduce
new UI elements is to preselect the current backdrop when you click the
'edit list' button. i like that because it's simple, but i don't like
it because it's non-obvious: for a new user, it may not be readily
apparent that a particular item is selected by default. or, conversely,
they may look for this particular feature, and not notice that it's
actually there.
but, it's simple and elegant, so i'm going to go ahead and implement
it. if anyone can think of something more clever, feel free to speak up.
