i would do it with the "path tool".
first make a selection of your oval. choose "to path" in the selection
menu. it will create a path of the actual selection. you can find the
"path menu" in the "layer and channel" menu. now you have created a
path, you can stroke it with the brush, color and mode you want.
hope that helps
regards
robert
p.s. :
-perhaps you should create a new layer to put the boarder on.
-you can use the path several times with differnt brush-types and colors
to create some nice effects like neon etc.
-this works in gimp 1.1.11, don't know about older versions.
