Same thing happend to me when I announced on a forum I created a program named

Hi
I am new to gimp plug-in development.
I wanted to know how mouse clicks are handled and also how coordinated for

does).
I suspect it is something to do with GTK/GDK (GDKCursor?), but i am not sure
how it works out.

I honestly don't see the problem people have with the word.
My school-age daughter came home talking about using gimp in school.
