Crop a picture with imagemagic?  I just found out you can actually do
that, and it starts a lot faster than gimp.  I sometimes use it to
display an image or for converting images and taking screenshots.  It's
one of these things you never pay attention to unless you don't have it
and then find it's essential.

Gimp can use lots of memory --- not an issue with reasonably sized
images, though.  There's probably no way around that for what it does.

Yep --- in many ways an awesome game, in some ways not.  When I finished
the post, I went to shoot some enemies and it crashed yet again.  They
refuse to fix it.  I got it for $15 when they had a big sale --- if I
had payed the regular price, I'd have returned it because it's too buggy
and the patches they have don't fix it.  X2 was much better in that.
