- Layer trees or layer groups http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86337
- Avoid popup dialogs for tools, file plug-ins, etc.
- Organize brushes, palettes, gradients... in categories http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119874 ...and make it possible to delete or hide the default ones http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118742
