For Windows:

1) Click on the FG swatch in the tool box.

2) In the change colour pop up window, click on the eye-dropper icon.

3) The cursor changes to an eye-dropper when inside the Gimp window. When the cursor moves out of Gimp it changes to the standard Windows cursor, but still works to set the FG colour in Gimp.
