That wasn't the only problem I was having with kmail for kde4. Worse, it made
that setting standard for 1.9, too :-(. It started complaining about 
certificates, forgetting passwords, removing all mail that came into my inbox 
as spam... Thanks for warning me -- this one should be good.

Yeah. I don't think moving the tool options to a toolbar works well. A popup 
widget under the mouse cursor could work, in the future, but we'd need to 
spend serious time implementing and testing it.

Maybe here it would be better to have the tools remember their state: this 
very much dependent on what a user usually does with a tool. I use the 
rectangle tool to draw a cadre around things, mostly, not to block out areas.
