I always get the cvs version, unless there's a new developers release the
day I decide to upgrade gimp. I've never had a problem with getting the
cvs versions to compile (well, except when they're broken, which doesn't
happen often). To do this, I just run "./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr" and it
all works out. Of course, that's in RedHat 6.1, so depending on your
flavor of OS, it may be different.
Though speaking of the x & y coordinates, I've always had the same problem
with them: namely, the coords appear, but don't clear the old coords upon
mouse movement. They end up being a big mess of black. They still do this
in the newest cvs of the 1.2 prerelease.
