I don't understand this patch nor the explanation you give. But then
I don't know much about Perl.

what is it you want us to say here? Perl plug-ins don't compile for
you?

this is only true if the user chooses to enter the size in Points.
The gimp-1-2 CVS tree already has some changes that addresses this
problem. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58848

fixed in CVS:

2002-04-10  Manish Singh  <yosh@xxxxxxxx>

        * plug-ins/common/url.c: eat the "Resolving foo" line so it
        works with newer wgets.

well, that's your problem. Shouldn't KDE use another name since libmpeg
has been around for longer? Or am I wrong here?

Could you please check Bugzilla for existing bug-reports regarding
your problems and attach your patches to these reports or open new
bug-reports. Thanks a lot.
