attachment:11823-alpha.patch is a sketch of such a toggle dialog. To use it, execute $ cp images/preferences/map.png images/dialogs to make the corresponding dialog image available.
I think the patch needs a better event handling, i.e., to get rid of skipEvents.

we should also disable the "zoom in" action performed if we double-click in the dialog.

Replying to Don-vip:

Why? I find it pretty useful to zoom (with the mouse wheel) and move in the minimap and define a new edit area. This is faster than zooming and moving in the main map view if you want to change your edit area.

Why?
Because I couldn't find how to zoom out after :) Does the mouse scroll really work?

Yes, it's the same like in the download window.

The basic functionality is implemented. Improvement ideas will pop up over time …

Just for your information, the user who asked for this feature gave a big compliment to the developpers and said that it is "perfect" and "just as he had imagined". :)
I don't think a toggle dialog woud be the best solution. I like the ID implementation (enabled with '/' or ':' key depending on keyboard layout):
