When using the Per-Model-Clipping tool and selecting which model
to apply the clipping to, there should be an option "All Models",
and it should be the default option.

Without this feature, some unintended results can happen.
Suppose the user generates a surface either with MSMS or multiscale.
If the user then uses the menu to select
Tools->Graphics->Per-Model-Clipping 
The default model is the one with the atoms and bonds, not
the surface model.  When the user moves the clipping plane 
it will seem like nothing is hapenning.

The user has to be quite attentive to realize that they have to
select the surface model from the list.  It would be better to
have an "all models" option that is the default.

Thanks
Cheers!

Andrew
