Very spiffy!
The rivers look fine to me, reminds me of coast areas with large channels between islands.

I'm hacking my way into the cartographical realm with AutoRealm, AutoCAD, GIMP, and Google Sketchup as my tools!

because they know they can be impolite without
having their skulls split, as a general thing."
Pretty good. I am not a Gimp user but I have seen a lot of maps with the fractal clouds pattern where there is this 45 degree pattern on top. Not sure what causes it exactly but if it were possible to mix a few together with rotations in between then it might help.
Although my fix has knackered up the coast, here is what its like without the 45 deg lines. Maybe you can put the two maps on different layers and mix the best of each.
It is an artifact of gimp's fractal cloud algorithm.
As pointed out before, there is a better one without this problem here: http://fimg-gmplugins.sourceforge.net/

Thanks for the feedback.
@redrobes: How exactly did you manage to fix that without completly destroying the bump map? I'm very interested.
@RobA: Oooh, thanks! I think you just made me a very happy person.
Hmm, some of the features of this plugin are handy, but I can't get any detail on the noise patterns it generates, so it's pretty much useless, any help forthcoming?
