It was also not so obvious to some more advanced users :) let's face it, 
in a software with the breadth of Gimp, everyone is going to overlook 
some feature. And anyway you can't have all these clever little things 
jump in your face when you start using the application, that would be 
information overload. Better find/learn about them little by little when 
the need arises.
