fyi, I've managed to isolate and fix my GIMP problem! When The GIMP starts for the first time (after the initial setup dialogs), a number of windows appear: Layers, Toolbox, etc. I simply closed all of them bar the toolbox, created a new image, and then experienced my problem. If I leave the "Tool Options" dialog open then select each tool in the toolbox in turn, then close the "Tool Options" dialog, I no longer experience the problem. I never have to go through this ritual again. Seems like a GIMP bug to me. As for my other problem of not being able to shutdown properly, I've noticed that there is a post on mandrakeforum.org with a link to download a new halt file. Seems that supermount is creating problems. Fingers crossed it'll fix it for me too. Thanks, Darrell >...I've done a little more investigation.

Had to kill it with a -9 and received a message similar to >"libGIMP warning: wire_read unexpected EOF". _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
