Well, that doesn't quite work for an image application, where you never can
be sure what format image you're going to need. To open Krita, create a 
document from an existing template, add a new image according to specs, save 
it as a template and create a new document from that template is a little 
roundabout. What I need, I think, is a way to add a fourth tab to the chooser 
dialog, create document from properties.
