I copied some parts of a picture in Gimp and pasted to a new file (which starts with a checkerboard background...). But the new file is exactly large enough for what I paste into it.

I cannot find how to expand the border.
Look at the layers submenue (IIRC) .. something like "set layers to pic size" or something. GIMP handles cut'n'paste as a floating layer .. unless you try to save the file as tga, which doesn't know about layers.

Internally GIMP uses it's .xcf format - even if you open a tga.
