Either we define a new docker that can hold the paintop information, includ=
ing=20
bristles (and I think that before 2.0 is released we will know enough to=20
create a special bristle widget). Or we can use drop-down dialogs from the=
=20
toolbar strip, similar to what Photoshop does for its brush information.

What we really, really need to watch out for is conflating tools and painto=
ps.=20
Tools should not and do not need to know anything about paintops, and vice=
=20
versa. Tools are just, as Casper said before, "guides" for the place where=
=20
painting happens, nothing more. Freehand, from vectors, rects or ellipses.

The difference between brush and paintop is harder to make, and not all=20
paintops will be able to use the gimp-style potato stamp brushes, and that'=
s=20
fine. That the brush shape is set on the painter is a very ancient historic=
al=20
artefact, nothing more.
