[plug] GIMP users to confirm behaviour

Wow... I can't believe GIMP doesn't have any kind of nudge. It's 
probably there, but involves setting scroll lock then holding down the 
END key while pressing the vi directional keys with your nose :-P

GIMP 1.3 appears to nudge entire layers using the arrow keys, but that's 
probably not what you want. I would, however, suggest giving GIMP 1.3 a 
try for many other reasons, it's a lot nicer, and a LOT faster. It does 
require GTK2 however.

Aha... you can nudge cut/copied then pasted regions, as those are 
temporary layers. You just can't nudge a selection directly to move it 
around - this is probably reasonable.

So... try GIMP 1.3 and see if that helps.
