Ken, thanks. As I said, there must be something wrong with me, in general. This is why what's been happening with Chrome lately, even when it works at all (which is rare these days*), what I see in the xterm on start-up and later drives me nuts. Back to Gimp (I like gimp and am accustomed to). 1. Don't ask me how, but about a year or so ago I managed to make gimp-2.6.11 run as cleanly as one can imagine. Even after exiting it, xterm would just showed the "prompt> gimp" and then next "prompt>". 2. This is what "prompted" me to try my luck with this latest version (2.8.0). The 2.6.11 "footprint", what with the updates of other software and all, had become a disgraceful garbage in xterm. Would still work fine, like the new one (not in color, though). * If you want to have some fun (a weird kind of) go to my "Issue" 130026, then to 129921 where it was merged into (along with a myriad others along the way). It is a unique experience. (code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list). Not necessarily pleasant but unique.
