No matter what was running - it is closed and lost. There are no other signs I can see, simply nothing. I have never experienced anything like this before and I do only get this when using Gimp, no other programs cause problems! How can I track this down? I am using the regular Ubuntu version of Gimp 2.6 that comes from the repositories!
