one simple way to do is to use "convert" from ImageMagick (mostly likely
you have it installed if you are using linux), with -border option
if you do want to do it in GIMP, the following steps (described in Teach
yourself GIMP in 24 hours) might do:
- check the size of your image
- if you want to make the border 20 pixels, open a new blank image
window and make it 40 pixels bigger than original in width and height.
- Go back to original, select, copy, and paste it to new window, it
will auto be centered on the plain background, giving it a border,
deactivate the selection.
- further processing (like pattern fill) can give you more fancy
borders.
