It's a both more complicated and simpler than that... I would say, study
first how rowpainter handles the painting of hfills.
Then, perhaps you should introduce "hfill kinds" in the form of an
enum, and modify the isHfill method in paragraph to return this kind, or
zero if not an hfill ("getHfillKind").
A dialog might be nice, but a good start would be menu entries for all
space _and_ hfill kinds. (Look inside insetspace.h to see what I mean
by kinds)
(BTW would it be a good idea to have tear-off menus? I find them
sometimes handy.)
