this is a long standing issue, that I do plan to look into at some
point. There are some complications I believe, relating to knowing the
effect that dynamics are going to have on shape and size of the brush.
The same issue manifests with rotation.


 Also, The aspect ratio slider is not very intuitive - would it be possible
 to have 0 as the default state (height = width), with, say negative numbers
 for scaling height and positive for scaling width? I know it makes no sense
 mathematically, but visually it would help to have the slider centered for
 zero distortion and have the same length on either side for changing the 
 aspect
 ratio.
This change is already commited to git. Has been for a week or so, the
repository must be  be behind a bit.

I mentioned in IRC that along with this exposing the brush spacing in
the tool parameters along with the other attributes (scaling,
rotation, aspect ratio) rather than in the brush panel, would be
useful.
