Save the image as png, quit gimp and restart. :D go to channels dialogue, make an empty channel, and do, channel to selection. (and then go to layers and select a layer in the image) use rectangle tool to marquee round the whole image in "subtract from selection" mode, and press Enter single-click with rectangle tool, outside the image (or ellipse tool probably, but not freehand tool) several others that other people suggested, I generally do shift-control-a.
