I thought it was the Gimp developers who developed Gimp. If I find a bug in Gimp I will address it with the Gimp developers and not with an Ubuntu developer. That's like saying if you run into a bug with Firefox on windows you'll write Microsoft. I appreciate the patches that Ubuntu developers make, I've seen them when creating packages but when an update of a package comes out, not a major release but a minor one like Gimp 2.4-rc3 -> 2.4.0 -> 2.4.1 , it's my believe you'll only have to check if your patches are still relevant. Is it Ubuntu's policy to do Q&A on all the packages it puts in the repositories? -- Peter van der Does GPG key: E77E8E98 IRC: Ganseki on irc.freenode.net Blog: http://blog.avirtualhome.com Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
