The gimp needs a kernel and an X server, neither are/were GNU. It provides its own widget library (gtk, no gnome without gimp). On Solaris, no further GNU anything would be needed so your suggestion is arguable. On Linux, you can argue about editor and compiler. But, uhm, who cares? I like the gimp (but not the gtk crap behind it), and I'm thankful it exists, but fights^H^H^Hdiscussions about who was more important in making it is not something which interests the average user I would imagine. Nor does it further the cause of Linux. Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
