Hi, The Xemian gimp 1.2 seems to have done the trick. I have a few doubts though...
1. Even though in the woody directory on Xemian the file name for the deb ends in potato. I assume that this was compiled for potato then. 2. Either way, just upgrading libgtk1.2.7 to libgtlk1.2.8 and gimp1.04 to gimp1.2 shouldn't break my system? I shouldn't have thought so. 3. It does go in as ~/.gimp-1.2. Is this particular to the new gimp or this build? Any way to get an old generic .gimp (I moved my earlier one so as to avoid just this). Thanks. Jonathan
