I seem to recall having some trouble till I played around with the gimprc
files. I compiled the source tho rather than downloading the package.
Before you run new gimp-0.99.10, you should delete ~/.gimp which contain
gimprc in it. Make sure you don't have anything in ~/.gimp first.:)
When you run gimp for the first time as any user, gimp will create new ~/.gimp
with .gimprc in it. I'm running debian gimp-0.99.10 just fine.:)
Cheers,
David
