Hmmm..Just for me to get a feeling on how it would work them:
Instead of creating a floating selection, as it is now, a new "full
featured" layer would come up.
Maybe the anchor button could be preserved, in order to allow a quick
merge with another layer of choice (either the previously used layer,
from which the selection was copied or floated, or the next layer
selected). I think this way all today's functionality would be
preserved.
Does the GIMP core treat these floating selections too different of
actual layers? Or would a hack like placing a call to
gimp_floating_sel_to_layer placed just after a floating selection get
created do the job? (I am not suggesting that his should be the
'fix')
