I think I'm ok with that.  We may want to be able to turn it off, for
simplification of the UI for younger children.  Also, obviously, each
Magic tool would need to tell Tux Paint whether the size/intensity option
even makes sense for it.  (For example, Mirror and Flip wouldn't need it.)

Additionally, I'd love to see the ability for Magic tools to be applied
to the entire image in one fell swoop.  For example, the Negative or Blur
tools could do this (otherwise, the user has to scribble all over the entire
image in one drag, without releasing the mouse).  Smudge wouldn't make
as _much_ sense.  Mirror and Flip already do this, so they wouldn't need
the option available.  And many of the drawing tools (Flowers, Rainbow, etc.)
wouldn't necessarily need the option.  (Of course, they _could_ do something
special -- e.g., 'fill the screen with flowers' or 'border the image in a
rainbow pattern', respectively.)

Gotta run... Thx!
