:-). Well, they mostly took the colour of the foreground colour, with alpha 
giving them shape.

That's a good point... As Sven notes, some time in the future, we'll have more 
than one active tool (mouse pointer, stylus, eraser, perhaps even more for 
people with a really posh wacom pad who have extra stylusses - Qt supports 
it.)

However, for the moment we should choose between the toolbar options dialog 
(almost every tool already can create that dialog, only they're empty) or a
docker. I'd prefer a docker that the tool can fill with a widget that shows 
the options.

I think it should be separate from the the brush/pattern/gradient docker, a 
docker of its own.
