Physical objects won't stop shaking

I have an environment with a few physical objects in it. I need them to be physical because I want users to be able to reposition them by clicking and dragging without having to actually edit them. The problem is, they never stop moving, they bounce, jiggle, and shake forever - I can even log out and log back in a day later and they'll still be jumping around like mexican jumping beans. Is there anything that can be done about this, something to damp out the jitter?

You could have them turn physical in the touch_start() event and turn non-physical if they haven't been touched in a minute or so.

Ah, that works very nicely - I make it physical an touch_start and then unset physical on touch_end.
