	The GhostElement class inherits CustomElement. A GhostElement aims at
	visually replacing a CustomElement whose definition could not be loaded.
	This way, instead of not loading an element, thus potentially losing its
	position, its orientation, its child text items and conductors, one can
	substitute a GhostElement. The GhostElement will extrapolate the position
	of terminals and text items from the rest of the diagram. It is visually
	rendered using a simple rectangle.
