I found a workaround: The bug seems to originate from the Oxygen GTK engine and only appears at the first run of Gimp, some initialization function I think (user_install_dialog_new ff. in the stack trace).
When I changed the widget style in KDE control center (GTK styles in Application Appearance) from "oxygen-gtk" to "simple" , I could start Gimp without a crash. After changing back to "oxygen-gtk", starting Gimp doesn't crash anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778414 Title: gimp crashes on starting (segfault) -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
