That's one of the reasons why I am asking - I know that ArcView 9 has 
the facility to do exactly that (but I assume that they have paid for it!).

What about WorldWind? ( http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ )
It os open source and I don't think there would be a licensing problem 
if a module would be available in GRASS, which uses the WorldWind data 
sources to download a georeferenced satellite image of a selected area.
