Ideally we'd have a tool options palette (like the gimp, at least in principal) and even more ideally it would be shown by default docked to the main window like a toolbar (more like many popular commercial graphics applications). I've also been meaning to add the option to have a standard toolbar (new, save, open, etc) for quite a while.
