There's too much gratuitous uppercasing in that comment, and redundancy.

Nice, spacing fixed, pylint would have suggested this.  However, some of
the mirror code you add below doesn't have correct spacing, and it was
difficult to review ... because my brain most rapidly understands
correct spacing in code.

The docstring does not describe the third parameter.

The third parameter is a string containing either 'Horizontal' or not.
This seems unnecessarily detailed.

I suggest changing parameter name flip to horizontal, and using it as a
boolean.  Perhaps as a named parameter with a default of True.

There should be spaces after commas.

width and height are only required if not self.selmove, so they might be
moved within the else:.

Any time I see "True" and "False" happening this way in the indented
parts of an if/else, it seems redundant.  Hopefully you can see this
could be written as:

	pix = pix.flip(flip == 'Horizontal)

But I don't suggest that, because if flip is changed to horizontal as I
suggest, the above four lines would become:

	pix = pix.flip(horizontal)

I'm unconvinced with respect to the structure of this code.  It seems
unnecessarily confusing, since self.selmove is tested multiple times.
My preference would be for there to be one test of self.selmove,
separate functions for each.  e.g.

	def _mirror_selection(self, horizontal):
	    ... get the image ...
	    pix = pix.flip(horizontal)
            ... draw_pixbuf, draw_drawable, draw_rectangle
	    ... queue_draw
	    ... enableUndo

	def _mirror_image(self, horizontal):
	    ... get the image ...
	    pix = pix.flip(horizontal)
	    ... draw_pixbuf
	    ... queue_draw

	def mirror(self, widget, horizontal):
	    if self.selmove:
		_mirror_selection(self, horizontal)
	    else:
		_mirror_image(self, horizontal)
	    self.queue_draw

Not reviewing the icons.

If my suggestion is taken, the above calls to .mirror might use
"horizontal=True" and "horizontal=False" respectively.
