I like they way blender does it in the compositing node too, we could
port that "Design" to the GIMP Dialog.
I thought about the numeric input values too, maybe just add the
colorwheels to the current dialog, and keep the sliders / numeric input.
If someone changes the sliders the change is reflected on the
colorwheels and vice versa.

But i think it could get ambigious if the radiobox selector for shadows,
midtones, highlights is still present and the 3 color wheels aswell..

Does GIMP offer GSoC projects? Would this "small" task also be a GGSoC
project?
