Maybe we can steal some more code from Digikam? The Inpainting plugin does 
shade the region outside the selected region. The shaded region is not 
updated in real time like in the crop image plugin in gimp, but it is quite 
o.k.

(I really wonder how the digikam people manage to code so many nice plugins... 
and their filter dialogs are so much nicer then Krita's.  That is really not 
fair...)
