Some layouts give weird results:

It would be useful to know what is going on there. Is it kieler? Is it the algorithm? Is it our interpretation of layout information?

I've added more information to the algorithms menu: a category (in parantheses) and a description (hover mouse over an option to see it).

This reveals that "Random" is actually randomly placing nodes without any layout logic. I'm not sure what's going on with Davidson-Harel though.
