how buggy is Gimp in its present state?
Gimp is solid as a rock on windows and linux, ive never had it crash (although ive only recently started to use it as primary tool. I do know it has a reputation for being very stable).
DONT USE "GIMPSHOP" though, it will mess up your installation and while it has the single window thing it is horrid and crashes all the time!
@markcw, try posting the problem on Ubu/gimp forums, someone must have seen this before or know why. :/
Could you perhaps take a look? My e-mail address begins with c.kras@ :-). Thanks.
I did dispatched a few last night and this morning. I will take another look when i get home. Has it arrived since you posted?
