Sorry to bump this, but after 8 days on this list and on gimp-user, there has been absolutely no comment. Can anybody confirm or deny that this is also happening on their linux systems? Or is it _just_ me? Should I file a bug report on this? I don't want to clutter up bugzilla if I am missing something silly. Thanks.
