One of the things that bugs me about Gimp is that if you change the grid size you have to restart gimp for the change to happen. This is a pain when working on a dungeon map where I like to snap to grids for convenience sake.
I found a handy script at the Gimp plugin registry (http://registry.gimp.org/node/12003) to create a grid of guides. The original script allowed you to specify how many guidelines you wanted in the X and Y direction. I posted a modification to allow an option to specify the pixel spacing instead of the number of lines.
I am attaching the modified script here as a convenience.
Here is the GUI (you access it from Image>Guides>Grid):
9796
And a the resulting guides:
9797
I find this much faster to use than setting the grid.
(Edit: and to remove then use Image>Guides>Remove all Guides)
