I like it. It is unobtrusive, easy to understand, and takes space which is now wasted anyway. We already have a widget that creates a gradient preview strip (albeit without rounded corners, of course), just use it.
Also, like in the markers menus, provide some separator between the gradients that are in this document and those that are in a library. I think the current gradient should not be a menu (these menus are very hard to use), just make it a static swatch and move the current document's gradients to the swatch palette below (with a separator as I just said).
However for patterns, we don't have a widget yet, and pattern swatches need to be larger anyway...
And it would also be nice to convert the markers menus into similar palettes - for consistency and because the menus are very inconvenient to use.
