Hold X to manage sockets is a 99% useless function

You can't really "manage" the sockets. The best you can do is to see which rune is in each socket, and that's it.
It only makes the matter worse during trading: to confirm a trade you need to hold X, but instead of getting that goodie, you are inspecting the sockets. And holding X on stacked items will just split them. It's really annoying during a trade.
Please, do something to it. At this point I see it more of a bug than feature.
