Hi Massimo,

Most of this functionality should be implemented in the pixbuf_renderer. This 
structure has the pointer to the image data and also the info about the 
geometry (zoom, viewport). The code for drawing the selection should go there 
too, maybe reuse the overlay code (we have a similar feature requests for 
displaying an image region and darkening the borders, please check the feature 
tracker first). 
The controls should go to layout_image.c and layout_util.c, but there could be 
a problem with conflicts with current functionality - all mouse buttons 
already have assigned functions and I don't want to change it randomly before 
we have a complete proposal.

Feel free to ask if you have further questions.

Vladimir
