I wanted to add some testing results. I mentioned I used gtkam and it was bad to crash. Well, I experimented a bit and found out this. If I disable the gimp USE flag, gtkam doesn't seem to crash. I tested for longer than it usually lasts so it may crash again but it lasted through a lot of clicking without crashing. It is a good sign at least. By the way, gtkam crashed with a segmentation fault. I have debug turned on but it doesn't seem to help much. I may report this to the gtkam folks if it is not to much trouble. This has been going on long enough. BTW, I don't use gtkam within GIMP anyway. I only use GIMP after I have downloaded my pics. At least if you go this way, you have a possible way to get it to not crash. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
