Changes since v2.5:

* Instead of a context menu to choose a tool, use the current tool to
  draw with the background color.

* New misc. setting: show brush size around mouse pointer

* Added translation, rotation and scaling of selections

* Added undo/redo to layer rename, alpha, blend mode, visibility, delete, merge
