Enabling plugins to get the user to click a point on the image.

["David Gowers" <00ai99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Manuel pointed out, The gimp currently lacks any way for a plugin to get a coordinate from the image (eg. click on the 'seed' pixel). I've often wanted to do this, and it is a bit awkward without it. Has implementing this been avoided, or is it just an oversight?

Some example usages:
  * Color mixer: click on any number of pixels then press ENTER to set FGcolor to a mix of all those colors.
  * Zone selector: click on a zone to select it
  * Word balloon creation (see a recent post on gimp-user) -- click a series of 5 points to draw a word balloon (size, point shape and location)
