Good to have some input from real graphics users. Thx.

This can be done crudely by placing the mouse over the drop-down list of  
zoom ratios and scrolling . It may be good to place a few more values in  
the list.

Also if you dabble around in the config options you can make gimp zoom off  
the mouse scroll à la GoogleEarth. This may be closer to what you want.

Good idea, could you provide a suitable list?

Thanks for you ideas.
