Some feature ideas. Comments are welcome on how (or why or why not) to

implement those. I want to start working on a nice gui for the transform
tool soon, but I'm not sure how this will be affected by the GUI/Core split,
so I'll concentrate on the GUI part first.

+Overwork the transform tools UI. It would be nice if the transformation
+wouldn't automatically start when releasing the mouse. Instead have a window
+that shows the currently choosen transformation numerically 
+(e.g. Scale X: 0.75 | Scale Y: 1.00). The transformation should be editable
+there and with handles on the outline. Perform the transformation when "OK" is
+clicked in the dialog or when you doubleclick(?) into the image. 
+
+Probably have a "Preview" button too that performs the transformation 
+without interpolation?
+
+
+Selections should always be bezierifyable.
+
+Selections should be transformable (e.g. rotate an elliptical selection; the
+selection, not it's content!!).
+
+Have a possibility to add a text as selection (is this doable with
+Type1-fonts?). If selections would be editable as described above, we'd 
+then have editable vector-text.
