In GIMP 2.8.10 on Windows, the ellipse select tool shows a rectangle 
around the area, as well as the ellipse to be selected. It can also be 
adjusted before using the selection, so you don't have to get it exactly 
right first go.

Which version are you using? 2.8.10 is rather old now, but it would seem 
a bit of a backwards step to have removed those features in newer versions.

Mark.
