Yes, and I think any sane person, not only you, know it ain't GIMP :) Try gnome-paint, or gpaint.

Installing the YouTube Center extension solved it, but that was a workaround rather than a proper fix.

Thanks for the support. I already meet up with others in the area but most are not too concerned with free as in freedom software. I am hoping to get more free software people involved.

This is a very clear demonstration on why the terms have to be clarified for people. Open source being muddled with Free software has actually a lot of dmamage to the movement.
