I would like to be able to look at an image as if it were glued to a sphere. Can I do this with GIMP?

btw, I don't care about what happens at the back of the sphere, just what I can see at the front.. In other words, I don't need the sides to join up on the other side, I just need the spheric effect..

and using blender.org to really map a texture to a sphere is not an option? – akira Dec 6 '10 at 21:18
@akira I tried it, but found Blender quite confusing, plus I didn't find a tutorial which produced any result (tutorials that say Apply Material to Object without saying how are quite frustrating when trying to use a slow software you don't know) – Shawn Dec 6 '10 at 22:42
