Michele,
It doesn't answer you directly, but I have found it easier to create text
components in Writer and then add them in the GIMP via Paste Into. See the
attached file.

Hello Peter,
I am not sure it will help me. Let me be a bit more explicit with an example.
I want to draw some lines and text boxes on a screenshot from
googleEarth and I want to upload a jpeg of less than 200k and of a
given size on a web forum.
This is what I do
1. capture the screenshot, remove the interface bits and paste the
resulting image into a layer of Draw.
2. on a different layer of Draw I create my lines, callouts, etc...
3. copy all and paste into GIMP to perform the corrections (size and
quality) and generate the final jpeg file.
Point 3 is where I experience the problem since the resulting picture
is as I said 20% or so wider than the original screenshot. As good as
GIMP is in rescaling still the quality is badly deteriorated and I
really cannot understand why the size is modified during the copy &
paste process.
BTW... I was somewhat familiar with the picture you sent me since I
created it last year for the Impress guide :-)
Cheers,
Michele
