Me too. (see my combined symbol and footprint lib in gedasymbols.org)

I'd be happy to see an obvious extension of this concept: An attribute 
that lists a number of preselected footprints for this symbol. E.g. the 
list for a resistor could be "0805, 0402, RES_RM10, VISHAY_S101. The 
attribute editor would convert this list into a chooser widget. I found 
the corresponding feature in protel very handy. Only thing I would gripe 
about was that the maximum number of preselected footprints in protel was 
four.
