marquee tool, drag a selection one or two pixels thick and fill with

A straight line is a bezier with no flex. May take a little experimenting. Or zoom in 
majorly and follow the squares.

In my experience, the GIMP is best for what its name implies: image 
_manipulation_.  For designing from scratch I find xfig works better, 
despite its yucky GUI.  OpenOffice Draw isn't bad for simple stuff. 
Once you've got your basic design, then you can always use the GIMP to 
add flashy effects to it.

If you want to get really ambitious, try Blender. It's an animation 
program, but you can also use it as a kind of 3D CAD program.
