The fact that part of this mess has been moved outside of the core and wrapped by obscure proxy objects has not improved this situation. There are still lots of bugs in the current tools, there is noone who fully understands how this stuff is supposed to work. What needs to be done for the next release is a major cleanup of the tools. Part of this cleanup should be a proper documentation on how to write a GIMP tool. I believe that it doesn't make sense to even think about pluggable tools before this has happened. I'd rather start the tool cleanup by moving GimpToolControl back into the core and I'd like to remove the cheesey hacks that were added all over the place. Salut, Sven
