I've never worked on it, but it sounds like a cool idea.

I'd think that would be the best place to put it.  The SimpleConfig 
Fabrice and I have been working on might be able to configure such a 
button to call a class or one of a number of defined methods already 
provided if it were already written into the code to have a button 
there.  It could even be set to be hidden, shown all the time, or only 
with certain panels.
