A convenient user-accessible parasite editor would make this sort of thing MUCH friendlier -- instead of having to use magic cookie layer names you'd just click on a button on the layer dialog and edit the layer's externally-defined properties Kelly

The solution is to fix your window manager configuration. I have no ideas what needs to be done for Windows. Gimp32 is terribly alpha and very few of us even give a damn about it, let alone care to fix bugs specific to that version. :) Kelly
