Jerome,

It is nice to be able to control the fills directly through handles, but the 
handles are too many. A simple 'rubber band' with two handles (anchored and 
movable) is sufficient. Circular gradient will need a ellipse with two 
orthogonal 'rubber band' lines.

Use a color dropper on a handle to change the color. Drag anchored handle to 
change origin and moveable handle to scale and rotate. Shift click on the 
rubber band to dismiss the handle. This would be consistent with operations 
on mixed curve and border width etc.
