Package: gimp
Version: 0.99.22-1
Severity: wishlist
(I've seen your response to a bug report mentioning 8bpp PseudoColor
displays, so I don't know how you'll take this one... But anyway...)
The Gimp doesn't work on 1bpp StaticGrey displays, such as the Tektronix
X terminals at UKC (my university). It gives errors like this:
| ** WARNING **: unable to find a suitable visual for color image display.
|
| ** WARNING **: file gtkpreview.c: line 896 (gtk_preview_get_cmaps):
"klass->info.visual != NULL"
|
| ** WARNING **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3070 (gtk_widget_push_visual): "visual
!= NULL"
|
| ** WARNING **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3054 (gtk_widget_push_colormap): "cmap
!= NULL"
|
| ** WARNING **: file gtkpreview.c: line 564 (gtk_preview_draw_row):
"preview_class->info.visual != NULL"

| gimp fatal error: sigsegv caught
| [n]othing, [e]xit, [s]tack trace, [a]ttach to process:
Since the gimp is quite capable of dithering its output into a 256-colour
palette to display on 8bpp displays, it shouldn't be too much work to get
it to dither into black-and-white too. (In fact, gtk already works in
b&w; the splash box comes up while all the above errors messages are being
generated.) While the result wouldn't be much use for a lot of purposes,
it would at least mean I'd be able to run a script-fu to generate a
heading for a web page without having to go and find a colour display.
AFAIK, pretty much all X graphical applications are capable of displaying
in black-and-white; certainly xv, ghostscript, idraw and netscape can.

Version: 2.2.0
As of version 2.2, gimp has an -i option, which should allow you to run
script-fus without having a proper X display. So this should not be a
bug anymore.
