The color pickers can either show the current color or allow to quickly apply
the last option. And since I see what color is used, I definitely prefer the
second option. This applies also to other modules such as Writer and font
color, for example.

The drawing style is a more tricky thing since you have to select the canvas
first and double-click a style to use this as the next default. Kind of easter
egg; we could improve this with a checkbox (or the like) that defines the
actual default (see also bug 47295). But it's also possible to change the
default, which is in Benjamin's capabilities.

Actual issue is the contextual dual use of the sidebar for object and page
properties. If we'd have placed the page stuff on an extra deck (or better
don't have it at the sidebar as this is not an option which frequently needs
attention) we could always show the properties deck.

Showing the Line & Filling toolbar again is not an option.
