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.
