Hello Gimp Devel.

First off, I started playing with GIMP 1.3 last night and it is awsome. The 1.4 stable series is going to be amazing.

I wanted to take this oppertunity, early in the devel work on 1.3 to restate an old nagging feature request of mine: The only feature I miss when I use GIMP is that of Photoshop's brush cursors. In Photoshop, when you choose a 12pixel brush, your cursor becomes a 12pixel sphere (or whatever shape of the brush) to illistrate where your paint is going to drop. This is, IMHO, a very very useful image editing tool. I'd requested this type of ability in the 1.1 and 1.2 development stage but was asked to wait for 1.3. I do alot of image cleanup and when editing an image border (say, painting out a background) its really helpful to know exactly which pixels are going to be changed.
