Hi, I have a kubuntu 9.04 x86-64 installation that I maintain remotely via vnc. It has all current updates. Gimp on this system has always been very unstable. Almost nothing can be done without a big ugly crash that takes out the X server completely. The simplest thing seems to be just to click on a newly opened image. It's that bad! here's the end of Xorg.0.log after a crash.

Is there anything obviously wrong with that output? It was a bit embarrassing have shouted about how good GIMP was to see it disappear in a puff of smoke. Any suggestions?
