But it is an interesting problem. Maybe other available Open Source tools could be used to first decompose an image and then the results could be opened in Cinepaint. After some processing, the images could be then recombined externally. Most users certainly would scoff at that kind of laborious approach, but it may be a feasible alternative -- at least until the layer features are working properly.
