Hi,

here are two other ideas:

1. Place them in the context menu:
New structure of the right click context menu:
Tool options
---------------
File
Select
...

for instance, if the current tool is the brush: "Brush options" or the 
like the Tool options tab with 'Status and Text' style
Choosing this menu item will show the well-known tool options dialog at 
the mouse cursor.

2. Double-click
Simply double click on the tool icon in the toolbox will show the tool 
options dialog - this already happens. But if the tool options dialog is 
closed, it will be opened somewhere out of the users sight. New 
proposal: on doubleclick open the tool options dialog floating and 
located at the mouse cursor, if it isn't already visible.

Best regards,
