One of the brushes I most often need is a 1 pixel square brush. I use it to 
do fine touch up work on images. The 2.8.2 version of GIMP that is available 
for my distro appears to have an off-by-one error in the rectangle selection 
tool that meant the outside corner pixels were missing. I tried to create a 
1 pixel brush to fix the corners but nothing I tried got me the 1x1 square 
brush. It kept coming up as 2x2 or larger.

The problem with creating the brush I needed and a problem with the text 
tool resulted in me compiling and locally installing GIMP 2.6 so I could do 
what I wanted to do with the image I was creating.
