Demonstration of ruler use and how pointers move

Dieter beat me. But I took a short video too to demonstrate. In it I show the
rule, and an arbitrary start position for the two left pointers on it, then I
move first the top one, and all is good,then the bottom one and they both move
as a pair. This is  fine as default behaviour, but very often it is the
separation between these two I wish to adjust without moving the top one. 

The work around currently is a manual bother: move both (by dragging the bottom
one) then move the top one back to where it was. The bother is, trying to line
the top one back up with surrounding paragraphs confidently by eye. 

I'm usually doing this to define a style, but not always, and yet another work
around is to open the properties dialogues and use numbers for precision. The
problem there is that it is often very nice, by eye to adjust the bottom
pointer. 

The most common use case I have for this is when indenting all but the first
line of a paragraph, wanting to keep the first line where it is, but indent the
body some to align with other visual elements - so its often by eye.
