Ok, why not when you first open up gimpshop make a new layer set to transparent and then hide the background layer (which is white) using the little eye.

Such as I have done here:

yeah i am...everytime i cut out smth it leaves behind a white background therefore i can't set the layer at the back:-/

Are you working on an image that supports it? Such as gif or png. Remember, you can't have transparency in jpg's.

Edit: I said you can have transparency in jpg's....which of course I wrong. Typical me to typo that.
