Ehm, no, please not !-)

I just meant to register 2 different PDB calls within one plugin
and leting the run() function decide which ui to call depending on
the name of the function passed. This is a frequently used technique
in Gimp plugins.

That's a really cool idea. Do you mean to integrate the color settings back
in the main notebook then?

Personally, I like notebooks very much (can't say why, they just feel
"natural" for me).
