Have you actually copied (or cut) a selection then pasted somewhere and found that there are semi-transparent pixels around the border? In that case turn the anti-aliasing off. It will look horrible.

or

Is the selection just sitting there waiting for you to do something? The selection is shown in Gimp by (sometimes called) crawling ants (Photoshop marquee)

Thanks I actually had anti aliasing turned on. Now it works fine. Thanks.
