I'm kind of lost right now :-). Do we actually already have a wiki page or something where the next steps for the dockers gui are listed? I didn't realize that the plan was to tie all shape property dockers to tools as tool option widgets -- or am I wrong and isn't that what you suggested?

For the default values, I was thinking of just the add shapes docker, where it should be possible to add/remove default shapes and to edit the properties of the shapes that are in that docker.
