[Bug 778414] Re: gimp crashes on starting (segfault)

[Daniel Reimer]

I found a workaround:

The bug seems to originate from the Oxygen GTK engine and only appears
at the first run of Gimp, some initialization function I think
(user_install_dialog_new ff. in the stack trace).

When I changed the widget style in KDE control center (GTK styles in
Application Appearance) from "oxygen-gtk" to "simple" , I could start
Gimp without a crash. After changing back to "oxygen-gtk", starting Gimp
doesn't crash anymore.

I can confirm this bug for Ubuntu Natty, running the KDE desktop
(package "kubuntu-desktop"), fully up-to-date:
