I have tried to reproduce, but it fails. Indeed that was what I have expected. The bugrate on this is to low on launchpad as that could be a common bug of GIMP to all.
"step5: crash (login window appears)" from comment 5. That is a very valuable hint. It says that you have not so far a problem with GIMP, it is the xserver of your system that crashes. Gimp is just hitting the weak point of xserver. Xserver bugs are mostly hard to debug, but in your case it is possible, because you can reproduce it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The easiest way would be, if the system has gathered the crash by itself, but has not send it. Please check the directory /var/crash/ with nautilus if there is a .crash file of xorg or metacity or similiar. (You can post a list of files here if you want). With a right mouse click -> open with -> report problem you can send this manually. It should be entered in the crash database(no seperated ticket), but maybe you get a launchpad ticket Please report back. When there is no .crash file we do it more complicated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021517 Title: Full system crash using any tool in Gimp Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Gimp causes a system crash when I use any tool on an image, ending up with the login screen.
