Hello Selections are the most important tool in image manipulations. The key in Gimp is to select and so something with the selection. THATS why it's very important to be able to transform selections. Rotate, shear, (i.e use the transform tool) on the selection it self. To day you must have a new empty layer --> make selection --> fill selection --> transform selection --> anchor selection --> then alpha to selection --> back to the layer you wanted to have the selection in. This is the only way to rotate, shear etc. the selection it self, this is _not_ good. This is a task that artists makes every day. I hope we can do something about it or to be more hard -->This must be changed before 1.2 is out!!
