Also, I think it wasnt there always, I had been using the brushes for a long
time before it was added. Thus I didnt know to expect it since it didnt work
before, even if I wanted. Of course I could remember wrong too.

The small + indicator is a good sign that there is a preview to popup if the
brush is large.

I think I noticed it around May or June, 2000 after a year of mucking
around with Gimp. A preview suddenly popped up into my face. Pause.
then light dawned over Marblehead.  Wasn't looking for it; but glad to have found it.
So it can be found by an innocent user, but perhaps not quickly.

 Just curious: Is anyone able to get the brush dialog by doubleclicking 
 the brush in the toolbox using a graphicstablet?
