Btw: the big problem here is, of course, that even with a single global 
selection, that selection always seems to act on the currently active layer, 
not on all layers. That's where the 
the "global-selection-that-follows-the-active-layer" concept shows its origin 
in single-layer paint applications most clearly. I think it's horribly broken 
and I have observed Photoshop users completely messing up exactly because of 
this feature.
