New modules added to the canvas may appear off-screen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Clear the canvas
2. Add a module by either double-clicking it in the list or by pressing 
enter in the search box
3. Pan the canvas so the module that was added is off-screen
4. Add another module by either double-clicking it in the list or by 
pressing enter in the search box.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The second module appears off-screen. This can be confusing to users. 
* New modules should appear in an empty on-screen area of the canvas if 
possible. 
* If not enough room is available, the canvas could be panned or zoomed to 
show the location of the new module, or (less ideally) overlap. 
* In either case, selecting the newly added module could help the user 
locate it on the canvas.

It might also be nice if new modules appear near selected modules (if any), as 
the 
user is likely working on this part of the network.
