You are probably using an old gtk+ with themes for the first problem. Update your gtk+, or don't use themes. Strike that, just update your gtk+. (You say you have latest gtk+, but this is EXACTLY what happened with the previous version so forgive me if I'm skeptical. Include the version # if you still think you have the latest). For generating a box/filled box/etc, first create the selection. Then use Edit->Stroke. If you want to fill it, use the bucket fill. Selections really are the key to many useful operations, and learning how to manipulate and use them is really an essential skill.
