"Rolf" please! ;-) I think this is basically the same thing that you can do with the channel mixer. In the top adjustment layer they do a "crude" desaturation by simply removing it. You can do that in Gimp by adding a layer filled with black and setting the mode to "saturation". I don't get what the lower layer does. I'll ask a friend an d report back. Perhaps there is something interesting in it.
