[Etoys] small usability sugestion

Currently, there is no visual separation on the title of a script
between the object name and the script name.

Car script1

So, if someone wants to drag a script, he has to make sure to click
"Car", because if he clicks on "script1", it edits the text. This is
one of those small things which make Etoys that little hard to learn
in the beginning (eventually you learn to allways use the objects name
as the draggin spot, and that next to it is to edit the scripts name).
I don't know what to suggest. Having a box around "Car" or "script1"
might make it seem they are blocks of code.
But maybe having "script1" inside a box _with_ a grey background, just
like the Search text entry box in the Viewer window has. It could
work, since it will resemble that other Text entry box.
