I used 'display' to manipulate a test image, and it complained about not being able to lock the image file. I'm quite sure that The GIMP was the only other program accessing that file, and it was all on a local file system. I have no other explanation than that both programs were contending for a lock. -- Kind regards, --Toni++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
