I admit that "temporary condition" probably doesn't make much sense but that was me using your words. What I was trying to say is that the current behaviour of installing things into directories versioned "2.1" is going to be reverted for 2.2. If possible, everything will go into the same directories that gimp-2.0 uses. Sven
