To my knowledge, the FLAGS parameter controls 1) whether the parasite  
is persistent across sessions, and 2) whether adding the parasite is  
an UNDOable operation. 1) is controlled by the least significant bit  
of FLAGS, while 2) is controlled by the second bit.

This results in four possible settings:

0 - Not persistent and not UNDOable
1 - Persistent and not UNDOable
2 - Not persistent and UNDOable
3 - Persistent and UNDOable

That would work.

(set! color (car (gimp-context-get-foreground))) ; as an example
(set! str (unbreakupstr (map number->string color) " "))
:
:
(set! color (map string->number (strbreakup str " ")))

I believe so. Yes.
