Thanks for the link. I think I now understand what this option is  
supposed to do. Assuming there is an one layer image, rotated by 45°  
with clipping set to "with adjust", there will be a layer with some  
transparent edges.

Now lets set clipping to "Crop to result" and rotate the layer with  
- -45°. What I would expect ist, that the in the result the layer/image  
would be cropped to the original size - meaning that the transparent  
border will be removed.

What happens instead is, that the layer size is reduced to 1x1 pixel!  
(GIMP 2.4.4 at Mac OS X)

Anything I could have done wrong here?

Remember: There are only two tools in life. WD-40, for when something  
doesn't move, and should, and Duct Tape, for when something is moving  
and it shouldn't.
So does the universe explode if you spray duct tape with WD-40?
