I use lockLoc for that.  In my own work I almost never use cantSelect 
because mouse messages behave VERY differently with objects set to use a 
browse mode while everything else is in pointer mode, which can lead to 
very annoying circumstances of its own depending on your scripts.

Given how frequently folks use lockLoc and how seldom cantSelect is 
used, it would seem a good choice for a tool where space is limited.

As for the Inspector, it may be time to consider a property sheet rather 
than manually arranged control layouts.  VB and Toolbook use prop sheets 
and I love having absolutely every property available in one place. 
Helps with learning too, so folks can see all properties laid out and 
explore them more easily.
