[Gimp-user] Question about settings colors with the Text Tool in gimp 2.0.4

[Tom Williams]

I'm running Gimp 2.0.4 on Linux and I've got an image with some colored 
text loaded and I want to create a new image with different text with 
the same color.  So, here is what I do:

1. Load the image with the colored text
2. Use the color chooser tool to choose the color of the text
3. Create a new image with black background
4. Choose the text tool
At this point, the color I chose using the color chooser tool has 
changed to black.

5. I repeat step #2 above
6. I repeat step #4 above
Now, I'm stuck in a manual "loop".  :)   So, I figured once I choose the 
color of the text using the color chooser, I can double click the box 
with the current foreground color to open the "Change Foreground Color" 
box and leave it open.  Then I choose the text tool and drag the color 
from the "Change Foreground Color" dialog to the color box in the text 
tool and now I can create the new text with the desired color.

Is there an easier way of doing this?
Thanks in advance!
Peace...
Tom
