Visio would be a good place to look for inspiration.  I
don't have Visio, but I happen to be using a free (as in
beer) CAD program, IntelliCAD, right now.  It uses this
space to display the state of Grid, Snap, and other
settings.  Double clicking toggles on/off states and
brings up a dialog for layer, etc.  This would be useful
functionality in Dia.
