No, I meant things like current line width etc. Which are or aren't put 
on undo stack ?

Maybe (as the issue is very controversial) I should try to code a 
generic mechanism for storing settings (settings = "line attributes" 
etc), history, generic properties dialog etc and this way keep the 
particular interface (implicit vs explicit, order of buttons, undo 
button or history combo etc etc) in just one place, and not scattered 
over the whole program ? Then, we can watch what the rest of the GNOME 
developer community does, and just choose the right version (or choice 
of two).

Sounds like the way to go...
