Hi from France,
The problem comes indeed from a conflict with KDE.
By default, the ALT key + mouse clicks has some special behaviours that can be
disabled via
the KDE control center / customization / mouse behaviour. There is a group of options
for
the ALT key.

Hi!
The book is right, but I've the same problem. So, if you get an answer,
please forward it to me.
I'm running Gimp 1.2.1, KDE 2.0.1, SuSE Linux 7.0.
I think it's a KDE related problem.
Greeting from Germany ...
