This sounds extremely similar to our proposal for the Undo system
of Gimp-2.0, where we will record changes to the context together
with the Undo information. 

The question is: do we really want to make this change now? This
won't be trivial and is likely to introduce new bugs. We could 
have a 1.2 release this month, or we start to hack the undo system
now and end up doing similar changes until the end of the year.
Is this change worth that effort? 



Salut, Sven
