Many thanks, I misunderstood your previous comment.

this is good news in several ways.

1. I can get ffx to do this as well , it's the sort of feature that you  
rely on after a while and miss badly.

2. Presumably Gimp can do the same sort of trick using std GTK+ widgets.

3. The code should be available as an example to make implentation simple  
and quick.
