I don't know if copying TuxPaint is a great idea.
I want maintain Paint like a simple activity, but adding a few capabilities
to make it more expressive.

Now, the priorities are two non trivial features:
* Better text tool.
* Sharing

About the interface my plans are:
* Single properties to all the tools, shapes: now every tool / shape have a
selection of the fill, line size and pen shape tool.
* Better line size and shape selectors.

The Paint code is a mess too. There are many code copy / pasted.
