Icons/graphical selectors are difficult for me personally, but I don't object to them as I understand they are helpful to most people. I'd love to see brief textual labels, always displayed in the same order and disabled when they don't apply. Make the icons optional so I don't have to take up space with them.
This puts everything in the same place, every time I want to use it. Under CUA, it was a basic tenet - don't move things around or hide them. Menus used to provide this, now nothing really does - everything wants to subtly (or not so subtly) shift the controls you are provided based on context, which means it always requires some mental processing until/unless you learn state+position.
The exception to this (for me) is the context menu, which you will assume by default only presents contextually relevant options.
