Hi Jay,
that's a cool idea! Be shure to post it to the brainstorm so it
doesn't get lost -- the UI team is listening there [1].

no need to worry, for a brainstorm posting it is fully valid to assume that
layer sizes get managed automatically.

Same goes here: to develop your idea, you can just pretend there were
no floating selections getting in your way. It often helps to make some
idealizing assumptions so an idea can be worked out as clear as possible.
To subsequently determine if and how a new concept fits into GIMP is a
delicate task and best carried out by the UI team anyway.

feel free to post on the developer's list.
