Thanks for your answer, I missunderstood the meaning of r.thin. But how can I get rather compact and smooth polygons representing watersheds without any slivers or attached/appended fractals of the size of one raster cell? Is it possible to solve such a problem with v.clean or something like a "raster smoothing" with r.neighbour?
