I have added some g_print() statements in the code and the config file is being parsed for the temp file location but the value is being lost somewhere. Can you suggest any good places to put some g_prints to see what is going on? Here is some sample output:-
[root@mike bin]# ./gimp-1.3 using MMX: yes swapfile is: /big/tmp/gimpswap.30852 swap add filename: /big/tmp/gimpswap.30852/n[Invalid UTF-8] swapfile is still: (¹g@(¹g@/gimpswap.30852
so it is being parsed ok if, you ignore my errors, but there is no error to say why the file is not being created in the suggested location.

Michael.
p.s. if I turn on conservative memory usage then it does create a few smaller temp files, but still no big one.
