it is easy to run both gimps, the developers have been thoughtful about this since sometime in the middle of the 1.1 series. currently i have a running gimp-1.0.2, gimp-1.1.10 (depends on how you define running for that one though), gimp-1.2.4 (from cvs) and also a gimp-1.3.11 (also from cvs). i had to be careful when installing gimp-1.0.2 but the others worked very nicely. i am pretty sure that the gimp they currently call stable will call itself "gimp" and the rest can be started by asking for them by name "/usr/local/bin/gimp-1.3" for me. the dockable apps make it totally worth it, imo. if i need some function that gimp-1.3 lacks i pull up gimp-1.2. they have moved some of the Image and Layers menu items around, so it gets difficult to keep that straight for me. but the unstable gimp seems fairly stable to me, just lacking some of the things i like to use. also, more opinions need to be expressed about the "color sliders on lsd" to the developers. here are some urls of screenshots of gimp-1.3: dialog on lsd http://sven.gimp.org/colorscale.png a dock i haven't accomplished yet http://sven.gimp.org/foo.png a dock i have accomplished http://sven.gimp.org/toolbox-mockup.png the disappearing button borders http://sven.gimp.org/toolbox-relief.gif (note the file format, this is one of the biggest anti-gif people i know, but it is still the option for an animation if you want people to see it) some bigger screen shots: http://carol.gimp.org/thefamily.png (all the gimps i had running sometime ago) http://carol.gimp.org/screen-02-08-01.png (several of the dialogs before i figured out the docks and before the button boundries disappeared. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
