When I'm not sure about a design, I start exploring the problem. Any 
hack will do, as it will teach me stuff and help me see better.

Perhaps we can start with any dialog / toolber / panel or wizard. Just 
pick one. Tell us briefly how to use it in Pharo, and what are the DrGeo 
model objects it operates on.

Then, let's build a first sketch: Using existing Layout, Labels, Text 
morphs, Label morphs, etc. Like Cuis builds all the existing tools. Now, 
see what is missing, etc.

Then, let's think together and discuss.

Thanks,
