The GIMP makes a difference between a modifier key which is
pressed when you start a selection and the same modifier when you
finish.

To add a rectangle, hold down shift, click and drag, then while
dragging, release shift. You will now be adding to a selection,
and it'll be a rectangle.

All you have to remember is that the modifier keys when you start
drawing a selection affect the selection mode, when you finish
the shape.

Cheers,
Dave.
