I agree that it is a very good tutorial. I learned a lot (now that I 
have finished it). I was just surprised because it is not easy to even 
start GIMP if you cannot find the mouse.

I am just finishing bringing it, and the screen shots, up to the latest 
version of GIMP.

The tutorial begins with an entire paragraph and pictures to show the 
SHIFT key and the mouse. At the end, it skips over the details on how to 
create the example images. Well, it did, anyway. It took me a bit to 
figure out some of them, but after I validated, built, visually 
verified, and spell checked, I create and submitted a patch.
