Alf,
There used to be a gimp plugin called panorama tools that was used to warp and stitch images together. This was designed for panoramic photography. It has evolved since into a standalone system and I'm not sure if the gimp plugin side of it still works. These tools are about the best and most versatile warping and stitching software available and they are free. Be warned though, the learning curve is steep. Getting them to work on Linux is a trial. People have written gui front ends for Windows and Mac that simplify their use a lot. There are also various tutorials available on the web. There is a useful mailing list too.

See http://www.path.unimelb.edu.au/~dersch/ for the core panorama tools. A web search on panorama tools will bring up a lot of stuff.

I use it extensively, and use the gimp to tidy up the resulting panoramic picture.

Hope this helps.

Jen

If you just want stick a couple of images together and need something a little simpler than Panorama Tools, then you could try the VIPS image processing tool, this has a photo stitching mode:

Though if you want to seriously create 360 degree panoramas it's worth while learning Panorama Tools; there is a very promising open-source GUI front-end:

(this is Windows-only, but it works ok using Wine)

Maybe, apart from the pano tools sugested by others, you can be also interested in these plugins that I have not tested yet:

I've never managed to get panotools working, so I wrote a simple plugin called pandora to help automate the stitching process described in "Grokking the Gimp".
