I have finished a first real implementation with a draft. Screenshot is 
again on https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Regina/DraftLineCapStyle.

I have re-introduced the labels for the join and (new) cap list, because 
without the labels the lists are not reachable via keyboard. The 
characters in the labels are used for Alt-<underlined character>.

I have already noticed, that it should be plural in "Corner and cap 
styles", but change has to wait till a new build.

 There's one thing I would propose, though: moving the long

That would make the whole dialog wider, with impact on the other dialog 
pages. Or do you mean to make the lists "style" and "color" smaller? At 
least the preview of the chosen line style should be totally visible.

It is the very first start with this new feature. My implementation does 
nothing yet but show the dialog. It is the first time for me to 
implement a new property, so I'm slow. There will be time enough to make 
a nice dialog till all other parts are finished.

Kind regards
