Gradient tool is "square with a gradient from black to white, left to right" (damn icons, another demo of "word 'close' is better than icon 'cross'"). Better, use the <Image> / Tools / Paint Tools / Blend. Or "l" (the letter) if you have the default bindings. Now look which icon becomes avaliable. And then try to forgot the icons, use keys instead. :] I did it in Gimp CVS 1.2 just after creating a new image, and I added a gradient to the image, without selecting anything (the Select All step is for fills, not gradients). > Still struggling. I can't believe it's this hard to put a gradient as a > background in a brand new image. It is if the explanation is wrong. :] 1. Create new image. 2. Select Blend tool (see above). 3. <Image> / Dialogs / Tool Options. 4. Configure Blend tool as desired. 5. Click, drag, release... tadaaa, a gradient!
