I like the overall idea of such a widget, but i find it rather confusing that it's a wheel you have to spin for different actions. It makes perfect sense for rotations, but for scew/scale/move? The arrow icons rotate with the wheel menu, making it really unpredictable...
Here's my own proposal: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=48369 I also like the Texture position widgets in Google Sketchup, they are easy to use and support snapping.
