Some things don't fit here - on the one hand you're insisting on having everything tested, on the other hand you seem to be a bit sloppy when checking the sources (not the source code) where the things actually come from. > But let's go back to my problem.

Well, lets clear it up: - GIMP 1.2 is not longer maintained (even GIMP 2.0 isn't) - there will be no changes to GIMP 1.2 anymore, and thus no further releases - if you're still using 1.2, your're basically on your own Compiling 2.2 yourself and testing it (if you don't have test cases, it would be a good idea to make some up with the current setup) is the best method to ensure it works fine. I'm actually a bit surprised that you'd rely on others to test the software you're using - do you want to blame someone else if it fails? HTH, Michael -- +++ NEU: GMX DSL_Flatrate!
