Adding a few more details to Sven's description regarding cropping -
Using gimp1.3 (highly recommended IMHO),
Select the Rect-Select tool,
change "Free Select" to "Fixed Aspect Ratio"
Enter an aspect ratio (I use 50 and 70 for a 5x7 print, or 35 and 50 for
3.5x5,...)
Select the part of the image you want
Adjust the selection using ALT-left click (SHIFT-ALT may work better if your
window manager binds ALT to moving the whole window).
Now you're ready to crop - I just discovered there are at least two ways of
doing this.
A. Tools->Transform Tools->Crop and Resize (or Shift-C)
Do a small crop selection (doesn't matter what you select,
Then choose "From Selection", followed by Crop.
B. Image->Crop Image
