To tell you about "other" builds, you should have told us where you got your GIMP version from? There are a couple of prebuild packages for OS X out there - e.g. GIMP.app at http://gimp-app.sf.net . The most optimized solution however might be to build GIMP on your own machine. To do so I'd recommend you have a look to darwinports at http://www.macports.org > > I know that there is a GIMP-related project named Seashore.

Seashore has nothing to do with GIMP, except that some of the basic technologies that where developed for GIMP were used for a new application. Concerning features is Seashore much closer to Paint than to The GIMP. > > > One other question...

Also building GIMP on your own machine gets you a i386 binary version. Right in the beginning (after Apples surprising switch to the dark side) there where indeed some more or less minor problems. Both, the yellow colored cursor as well as the missing filters are known phenomenon. One can be fixed in the GIMP preferences, and the other was (most likely) due to some bug in the GTK libraries and could be worked around by special environment variables. I'm using GIMP at one of the very early MacBook Pros, build it with a little help of darwinports and do not have any problems you described any more.
