I tossed Gimp several years ago when it started requiring glib-networking. For a graphics editor. I am also preferring Qt and phasing out use of GTK wherever possible. I find photoflare lightweight and more than adequate for what I need from a graphics editor. Others may as well. I get that it is a major well known application and you need to have it in the book. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
