Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I'll start to say thanks for a really great and quickly evolving app.

I have a little wish about layer selection. In Photoshop you can right click on the image and get a menu of all layers that exists under the cursor. This makes layer selection much easier if you don't know what the layer is called in the layer list.

I'll attach two screenshot of how it works. It appears that the list only consists of layers that have pixels on the current cursor position (or something similar).
One idea to extend this funtionality could be to show a preview of the layer, like in the the regular layer list. This would help even more if you don't name your layers properly.

Important bit of extra info: this menu is only shown if you ctrl-rightclick, it's not the ordinary right-click context menu.

Let's merge with 302803 -- having a second popup that uses ctrl-click to show a layer selection menu.
