Actually, I would like to remove that little clock icon from the Edit palette and instead have history options for an object be part of the object properties panel.

The object properties panel would be something that would show up in this area:



It would be active when you are in selection mode - I mean in the mode before you have starting to run any command.

The idea is that the properties for the currently selected object or objects would be displayed there, probably by default it will show only a small amount of info like the type of object, its name, and color, and then have some way to expand it into different sections, like shape properties (endpoints of a line, center and radius of a circle), bounding box size (see and/or edit an object's size by its bounding box dimensions), and probably a bunch of "advanced" properties...

This panel would be something that was always available even when the browser tree thing was closed, it would show up in that currently empty area.
