some body properties

what you would recommend for bodies that I want to move around a lot (all the time) using setGlobalPosition and setGlobalOrientation? (and is that the best way to do it? I only want the bodies to respond to events in the physx system if I tell them to, otherwise they shouldn't do anything. And when I place two bodies right next to each other, I don't want them to fly apart due to the proximity.

No in theory it should be fine, but if they are flying off when they move then they are touching or almost inside each other. When you move the body's take account for the skin width.

Since yesterday I've worked the code enough that the bodies are setup such that they don't touch (and hence, don't fly apart when awoken)

I was wondering, what happens when a body is set to kinematic?

Then it ignores all forces and what nots applied to it.
