Yes, looked a bit into this, but there is a lot of code and I've never used 
krita so...
Anyways, afaics KoToolManager never gets the list of selected shapes in its 
selectionChanged() slot because it does not work with the correct 
shapemanager.
When a shape is added in krita, a new layer is created along with a canvas. I 
think the canvas should be added to the tool manager (via its controller) with 
KoToolManger::addController(), this never happens. Hence, the new shape 
manager is not connected, and shapes added to it will never be handled.

This is a bit too deep into krita country for me try a fix (if even my 
deductions are correct) so I'll have too leave this to somebody in the know.
