I have been watching a videotutorial about PhotoShop and that's when  
this question has occurred to me. It could be usefull sometimes if we  
could watch the layer mask in a window and the global effect in the  
whole image/composition, in another window... It seems that it is not  
possible, for now. That's ok. I'll keep loving GIMP just as before ;)

Thanks,
