You can already do that in GNOME. Drag the image preview from the
toolbox (you need to enable the image preview there in the Preferences
dialog) to the GNOME desktop or to the file manager and the image will
be saved there. The protocol to do this is called XDS and GIMP supports
it since version 2.4.
