If you just want a visual aid, how about using
/Filter/Render/Pattern/Grid...  ?

You can put it on a separate layer, and adjust the opacity to just
have them showing through.

It won't do your snapping though.

i ran one of those to make a grid of guides, but it would be nice to
have a grid that isn't the same as guides.  so that you could snap to it
even when it wasn't visible.  you can only snap to guides when they are
visible and they only snap when you get near them.  i want a grid that
ALWAYS snaps so i can never locate something other than on, say, every
10th pixel.
does that make sense?

Yes, I've often thought this. And everyone knows that if Marc and I agree
about something it must be right (?) or at least it's in no-one's interest
to disagree...

How do we put something on the GTK+ "TODO" list? Anyone from GTK+ still
hang out on gimp-devel, or are the two worlds quite, quite separate
these days?

Nick.

I think the best way would be to make any gtk label/text widget be
selectable. I don't know why this has not been done so far, but it might be
an interesting experiment.

I, for one, always wondered why there is text that I cannot select. Except
that it might be easier for the programmer to implement I don't think this
serves a purpose (well, maybe less memory, but...)

Are you speaking about something like the Perl scripts that create a
grid and remove guides?

It is one of the things I dislike of GUI: you can not copy info from
screen lots of times. In the GNOME GUI list there is a proposition to
make the About window selectable (!= editable) so you can copy emails
as you say. IMO there should a way to copy data from GUI, but not
making screenshots, something like XPDF selection of text.
