What version of the GIMP are you using? The GIMP changed to be consistent with Inskcape and everyone else a while back (although not many releases will included the change) and used the keybindings specified in the Gnome HI Guidelines which is consistent with other platform guidelines and a wide variety of existing applications. http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/input.html#mouse-buttons I've no doubt at all that consistency is the right answer.
