Yes thats how I want to have it (beside that you also must be able to nudge the selection whit out it making it into a float (e.g holding down the alt). > I dont know if this very hard to implement, but I agree with Olof here that > it would be a Good Thing. Yes it's a very GOOD thing!

I don't see why this will make it more confusing? However we are dedicating a whole chapter how to draw in Gimp in the GUT. This will hopefully solve some of the problems. > What do YOU think? :) Well see above ^ Cheers Olof
