The current UI system allows implementing such a toolbox quite  
efficiently. Since I know that system best, I can also best volunteer  
for it then. :)

Once I have the framework for it, others can easily tweak a layout,  
compactness, where titles are, where new menus come up, etc.

What remains is the issue of drawing a huge table to define which  
contextes/modes should draw which options in which windows... that will  
be be the nasty part. :)
