from #gimp chat on freenode IRC:
(05:23:33 PM) Billiard: CarlFK: you can transfer the alpha channel to
a layer mask to directly modify it
(05:24:53 PM) pgimeno: CarlFK: also, Selection to Alpha allows you to
"select based on transparency"
Don't ask me anything about it - join the #gimp channel.
I can help with IRC.
