Some UX nightmares that may come up.

[Valerie]

It doesn't have to be D&D, that was just an example of how it could be done. A pop-up panel where you can decide what widgets to add is fine too. Would it be impossible to add mini-curves?
There's the question of how to handle different brush engines though. Maybe have a drop-down allowing you to pick different presets for the docker, as well as an option to link specific presets to specific tools.

A subset of the idea is feasible: a docker with a user-defined set of 
sliders and other widgets. D&D of widgets from the brush editor to a 
docker, well, that's going to be really challenging to code, and 
especially to make robust.
