I tried to implement such a thing in my GtkImReg widget which I
needed for my (special purpose) image viewer paul.  It is far from
bug free but it works and could serve as an example.  For sure you
will find a rubber box implemented in the Gimp sources but my
rubberbox has some more features I needed.

In my opinion a GtkRubberBox widget would be a very fine thing.

Comments and improvements are welcome!

    There is a small example included.
