In Debian / Ubuntu, a "purge" (aka "Complete Removal") will not delete the settings folders from your home directory. If you open a Terminal: cd ~/ ls -al You should see a folder named .gimp-2.6 rm -r .gimp-2.6 Afterwards relaunch GIMP. -Alex _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
