[Bf-committers] Radial control, pie menus and nice wip feature: Conflict?

[CoDEmanX]

I like the overall idea of such a widget, but i find it rather confusing 
that it's a wheel you have to spin for different actions. It makes 
perfect sense for rotations, but for scew/scale/move? The arrow icons 
rotate with the wheel menu, making it really unpredictable...

Here's my own proposal:

I also like the Texture position widgets in Google Sketchup, they are 
easy to use and support snapping.
