Hello!

Seems fine for me (but I too would like to see a way to
make it optional) :-)
Look at 'show' and 'transform' properties of select-context/
seltrans for how one can implement tool options.
Also in dialogs/desktop-properties.c is example of color
selector, if you want to implement color choosing at this step
- but just on/off toggle is fine with me.

Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski
