[Gimp-user] Text border

[Fabio Colella <fabiocolella1990 gmail com>]

Hello, I create adverts with Gimp for my magazine www.sardegnaannunci.com . 
A feature that I need would be to create border around text. 
I reach this target with multiple shade effects or selecing the text using selection by color, then selection->border and the filling it with color on a second level under the text (if I do this in the same level I loose antialias on the text). The problem is that when I want to change the text I have to delete the levels for this, edit the text and then create the effect again. Isn't possible to add a feature or a plugin with wich I can edit the text and the effect together? Or better, a real editor with border an shadow effects?
Like the one there's on Libre Office.
