Very little.  I'd probably have to back out or change the mods that
don't allow complex map changes to occur, but leave the lock on the
obvious buttons at the top and mouse movements.

As far as the temp. bookmark, we already have something that will
work for that.  I used it heavily at the marathon:  Right-click
mouse menu -> Last Map Pos/Zoom

If you only make one change to the map then the above sequence will
get you back.  Performing that sequence again will take you to back
to the changed map.  Ad infinitum.

If you make more than one change then you can't get back.
