I implemented box fill on my fork of Xournal: https://github.com/ezyang/xournal/commits/master It's a bit of a hack, but boxes are easy to draw and I wanted something immediately. A marginal improvement would be arbitrary polygons. However...
You can't just "add fill-in" to rectangles and circles, because internally they're not represented that way; they're just strokes. Now, you could add a notion of closed stroke and then apply fill-in to the path, but you still need a bit of extra code to deal with what you do if you try to erase parts of the stroke now. (It's doable, but fiddly).
