thanks, i already had looked at his site, and what he is doing looks very interesting. but i agree that i shouldn't need gnome, and i am going to try to compile GTK. if that doesn't work then i will plunge into dselect. at the moment i am getting gimp 1.2 with the --display option from my boyfriends debian PC. it works nicely. i'm also getting netscape that way. but i really want to find a solution because other wise i'm gonna go running back to photoshop, and i want to avoid that. grrrrr, sisi > > > or is there some other solution like compling GTK > > > myself (will i run into other dependancies?) > > > > install woody. or backport the woody gnome packages to potato (ive > > done it, its a pain but it can be done, note its far LESS of a pain > > then ruining your system with that ximian crap). > > But the main point here is that you dont need any GNOME stuff to get Gimp > 1.2 running, just gtk.
