Suggestion for non-tablet users...

I apologize to Sven N. for accidentally emailing him last night. Goofed up in the mail program. ;) I usually try to be sure everything is replied only to the list. Yesterday I noticed some stuff was replied in private email and thought I caught them all.

Anyway, I wonder if they would somehow make the features that are available for pen-tablets in Gimp useable for the mouse too. Like for instance, the brush size (in 2.0pre1), etc. or have a regular feature added to manually add the size to what you like. (Same idea for all the normally-pen tablet features).

I also wondered if the rpm versions of Gimp have tablet enabled or do we have to compile Gimp with the suggested flag to get that? (Thinking of future here.) I find RPMs easier because with something like Gimp, I have too hard a time compiling it (can't even get past ./configure) due to dependancies. I can't run Freetype 2 apparently or it messes up my Xwindows causing me to have to fix my XF86Config's font settings. :( Being on dial-up, also getting new packages/updates takes a loooong time. So if Gimp runs from RPMs, the better. :)

I think there's an enhancement request for that already. Opacity is already controllable using the cursor keys even for mouse users.

It's a GTK+ configure option, not a GIMP configure option. Most distributors seem to have it enabled by default.
