This is very counterproductive.
You might have a look at these bug reports: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167926 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315051 I wrote a patch for the 1st one to add a slider for preview opacity which allows one to temporarily use a different opacity for the layer being transformed. The original layer stays there behind the previewed transform. Sometimes this is good, and sometimes this is annoying (the second bug above). If it's in the way, the normal layer opacity can be dragged to 0, leaving only the temporarily transparent preview visible. I've been using my patch for several months now, and I personally find it really handy.
