When I move the mouse, the cursor travels much too fast to do precise things in gimp. How do I make it so that a large mouse movement is needed to make the cursor (perhaps it is called a tool) move a small amount? I've looked in preferences but did not recognize anything seemingly relevant. Thanx.

This is controlled by the mouse settings on your system (Control Panel>Mouse in Windows). This may also depend on the mouse you use. You can also zoom in for easier positioning.

So... there is no way to do this in gimp?

No, as Ofnuts has described, this is controlled by your system.
