I tested it a bit. I think it feels odd that with your desire to avoid opening the Align & Distribute dialog that the controls obey the "Relative to" selection there (such as if you choose Page). I would think it should align as if "Selection" was chosen there and then maybe make use of modifiers keys to allow to align to page and such. Otherwise, the control placement is odd imho but I don't have recommendations to improve it that don't involve putting them outside the resize handles.
Also, for anyone that has trunk checked out, you can just apply the diff from here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~doctormo/inkscape/align-handles/diff/12410 as opposed to checking out another copy.
Cheers, Josh

Hey Devs,
I've got a new feature (uncommitted) to show:

I'd like to know what you think and your feedback could be key to deciding where my new handles would fit with people's workflows.
Excited, Martin Owens
