I'll add you to the about box :-).

Ah, yes -- but if it's _bugs_ you're fixing... Like make the user interface
more consistent while at the same time not introducing new translation 
strings... Then I guess we'd jump at someone doing the work right away.

When working on tools that have been in Krita for about six years, and that
have not been maintaied any too well, you'll probably find cruft. Some of the 
commented out code should be activated once the optionwidget code is done: 
that is to say, there's already a .ui file for the shape tools that allows 
the user to choose opacity, composition rules and fill rules -- 
wdgshapeoptions.ui. This file was present before the freeze and so is 
probably translated.

It needs to be used in exactly the same way as the other option widgets, for 
instance those in the brush or the gradient tool. The commented out code 
about opacity etc. can then be linked to the relevant widgets.

The only reason I haven't yet added the widget is that I haven't got a clue 
about how to make an ellipse filled with a pattern or a colour...
