Btw, about adoption Gimp became more and more important - 2.4 is long awaited - interested peoples will upgrade to 7.10 even only for Gimp 2.4 (if is a library problem) - I AM USING GUTSY FOR Gimp 2.3.18 (and 2.3.19 now). > Feisty is not going to include GIMP 2.4 anyway.

Gutsy already use GTK 2.11.6 and 2.3.18 work very well on Gutsy - not a single crash (and I use Gimp very intensive). -- 10 seconds off topic: 2 coworkers working with Avid for compositing, need to use Photoshop sometime to create TGA's or PNG's with transparecy for flying letters or images over the movies (commercials) - looking at my daily work - they starting to use Gimp to make transparent areas for export on TGA and PNG format.They like Gimp over Photoshop because is easy to cut, to select, to export and notable -> what you see (on canvas) is what you import(on compositor). Photoshop and Photopaint export is problematic and sometime they got black areas instead of transparency(..yep forgetting to put a mask - they stuck in export dialogs on both Photoshop and Photopaint). Well, some peoples start to feel the difference ;) -- end of off topic back to Gimp2.4 - Enhanced SIOUX tool (Detail Refinement Brush) will be on 2.4 ?
