When I introduced a work colleague how to use the GIMP one of the first things here tried to do was "tile" the image he had just created. He did not want the overall image size to change, just the image he had just created to be repeated uniformly. I had a think about this and decided to create a plugin that has this effect.
It turns out that the preview of this plugin can give you a good idea how a pattern you are working on will tile. So you might invoke the plugin only to hit the cancel button!
Here is an example of what the plugin does.

The border on the second image was created using a script I have written.
Hey even a screen shot!
You can download the source of the TileIt plugin from here. The version is currently 0.2. It attaches itself to the following menu item:-
