Not that I'm aware of. I know you can't drop those brush files into GIMP's brush directories and have them "just work." If a file plug-in exists that can read those brush files then you will be able to read them in and then save them into GIMP's native brush file format. But I don't know of any brush file plug-ins for other application's brushes. > 2. How can I ensure that certain of the GIMP's windows, for instance > the Levels or Crop and Resize Information windows, always open in > the same position on screen? In short, you probably can't. You *might* be able to do so if 1. the developers gave each window a special name of its own and 2. your window manager allows you to save position information about those specially named windows. If #1 is true (and I don't know that it is), then in Sawfish (which is commonly used as the GNOME window manager) you can click on the title bar of a window (I think it's a right button click) to get a menu. At the bottom of that menu you have the option of choosing History information to be saved, such as position and geometry of a window. Select "Save position". That *might* work. But no promises. Other window managers may offer similar features, but many do not. Caveat gimper. -- Michael J.
