I'm pretty sure it comes from GIMPs interaction with particular X drivers, but I can't remember if it was nVidia or Intel. I think it was nVidia. If you have an nVidia card, there are two drivers: the open source nouveau and the nVidia provided nvidia. Whichever driver you're using, try switching to the other driver and see if that helps. Oh wait, you're using Ubuntu. Don't know if nVidia's driver is available in .deb packaging. I use Fedora and there are RPMs for it. Guess you'll just have to dig around for it. You can also try disabling 3D acceleration to see if that helps. Some of the 3D driver support caused problems on intel graphics chips for awhile. I disable all 3D fluff on my systems since I don't play games and don't really need it anywhere else. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

What is the best (fastest :-)) way to get to, or position yourself, to the resource? Resource tagging is intended to address this problem. Have you tried it? You can assign tags to any resource using the bottom input field in the relevant dialog, and filter by tags using the top input field in the relevant dialog. (but not currently in the tool-options popup.. you must be using the full dockable, eg. Gradients, Patterns, Brushes in order to use this.) It would be great if we could do the normal keyboard-search thing for resources, I agree! For example: Text Tool Click on Font Icon The active font is Arial and I want to get to Tahoma. ... why can't you simply use the scrollbar to get near to the right place in a matter of 5 seconds? I can. I agree that the preview of fonts is comparitively sluggish VS eg. gradients or patterns.
