Yeah, I've been meaning to ask why you think that's a good idea.
Specifically since we already discussed this and everyone on #koffice 
disagreed that it would be useful.  So why did you commit anyway, did you 
make a big change since?

Separate from that, some other devs have been working on fixing some issues 
with the same docker, based on the same IRC discussions :)

Its a different tool, not a different tool-options tab on the default text 
tool.  So I don't really see your point...

Yeah, we probably should not *remove* features from the (paragraph) dialogs. 
But I agree with Florian that it is indeed a separate step. In my mind we 
should avoid having a docker or any tool-options in the the default text 
tool.  Luckely we don't have any right now, so the solution chosen by Florian 
seems to be great.
The extra tool (the paragraph tool) seems to fill the function it is made for 
perfectly.

Thanks!
