Well yes, kind of :D... there are two kinds of compositing.
Compositing the layer with the current brush stroke and compositing
the layer with the layer below. The first type is destructive the last 
one is non-destructive.
Now you can choose if you want to lock (prevent altering) a specific 
channel only for painting
or for layer compositing or both. And... yes it's kind of like visible 
and active color channels.
The UI in gimp is nice, yes (photoshop looks similar).
but it's like everything else of the GUI stuff... someone needs to do it 
:D :P

I think the spacing option is there to fine tune the brush spacing.
I think it is pretty useful but i don't know what Cyrille's intention was :)
But i really don't like that the option is enabled by default.
The problem is that it returns 1.0 if it is disabled but i would like 
that the brush
behaves normally if this option is disabled.
The easiest solution would be to alter the paintops who use this option
(at the moment it should be only pixel and culor smudge brush) a bit.
In the paintAt method you can return like this:

if(m_spacingOption.isChecked())
     return m_spacingOption.apply();

return spacing(scale);
