Well, some applications already have this ability. First one that comes to my 
mind is Adobe Photoshop (and probably other Adobe products) which displays 
all undoable commands in a tool window. Some KDE apps have this, too. Karbon 
comes to my mind.
It's very usefull if the software allows very complex editing, etc. However I 
don't think that I'd use it for simpler appications like kwrite or even 
kword.

It'd be interesting to know if this is a good thing (TM) for less experienced 
users (like maybe mothers :)) from a usability perspective.

Greets, Hans
