Primitive drawing in Gimp?

I'm somewhat new to gimp (although not to computers). Is there any way to draw primitives (lines, squares, circles, etc.)? This would be very handy for creating some textures.

You should start with a tutorial about lines, like http://www.gimp.org/~sjburges/straightline/straightline.html

Then apply the keys to rectangular and ellipse select tools (you will see Gimp likes to use some keys a lot), or find some other tutorials about selections, and fill the selections with the bucket.

Gimp is not a tool like other where you have circle or star or shape tools. You have to combine the tools, and sometimes filters, like GFig or Grid.

Or GFXShapes: http://www.graphics-muse.com/gfxmuse/gfxshapes.html I think this is easier to use than GFig, but I'm a bit biased. :-)
