Ideally, it should be possible to configure how close the segments fit the shape of the selection. It would also be nice to configure if the stroking is done inside, outside or on both sides of the edges of the selection. Anyway, there is a workaround that should allow you to get a better circle until some new options are added for stroking selections: just convert the selection to a path, then stroke the path. The results should look a bit better. Note that you will probably need to double the stroke width because that parameter is not interpreted in the same way for selections and for paths. Also, you may have to adjust the radius of your circle (another difference, probably related to stroking inside or on both sides of the line segments). -Raphael
