For my application I would like to have the graphical editor come up
with two predefined containers (I fancy two large labeled rectangles)
inside which the user then starts creating sub-elements and connecting
them, etc.
This corresponds to two top-level elements that *always* have to be
present in the XML files that I am dealing with. I don't want to have to
create these outermost elements, they simply should be there right from
the begin (i.e. even if creating an new "empty" file or model).
Can one create such fixed and predefined figures? How?

Wow - *that* was easy! And it worked on the first try... unbelievable!
Thanks!
