I do not know if it will be perfect, but I think this could be a step in the good direction. Select->By color, then grow the selection (Select->Grow) by a number of pixels, and shrink it by the same number afterwards. It is kind of a cheap erosion-dilatation or dilatation-erosion. This correponds also more or less to the use of blur filter on the channel corresponding to the selection. But this is more complicated to do. The other way would be to use a filter like a closing filter of the ipx plugins http://ipxplugins.sourceforge.net/samples/rank-order-filtering.html If you use windows gimp, these opening/closing filters are in Filters->IPX (you need to install the additional filters). They were previously here http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/ (page of Jernej Simoncic) but I can't find them anymore :-/ Maybe they have ben integrated in the main archive?
