I think we all understand your proposal pretty well. I don't like it very
much, even as an option, since it assumes that you're not using GIMP
entirely correctly in the first place.
Juhana, I'm just a Silly Luser (tm) but the solution to your problem is
simple: use the keyboard. I frequently switch tools between images in
GIMP in much the manner you've described and I've never had the problem
you're complaining about.
The only thing *I* would say is a problem is the fact that the tool
shortcuts are so widely spaced on the default QWERTY keyboard: using GIMP
is a lot like playing Quake for me :) and it would be nicer if I could
have my right hand on the mouse and my left hand on the keyboard and not
move it around so much; but that might make the keys less pneumonic.
At any rate, GIMP is far from 'user un-friendly'; I still convert
Photoshop users at the rate of one or two a month (and that includes
installing Linux!).
Tangent: How much is that Wacom Intuos again? And where can I get it
delivered to me before christmas? <g>
