Hi Alan,
I don't think it is a good idea to change the project name.
So you kind of answered to yourself...
It is a good sign that the gimp has improved so much that people are only

I don't complain about the name.
I think it would be a fair
Ah, it's worse than I remembered, since the
patch is actually against GIMP 1.2! But I'm
compiling up GIMP 2.0.x now and so hope to have time to
port this to 2.0 today, and from there hopefully it's
only a short hop to 2.1.x (but I can't test that).

hi,
lets schedule the changing of the name TheGIMP to Boondoggle right after

Because IMO the name is important. If we allow the name to be changed

i have a question for you; you don't need to answer it to anyone but
yourself. what does the word gimp mean to you and where ever could you

If a project as big as Mozilla Firefox allows it name to be changed, why
would it be an issue for the gimp?
There was another project called Firebird, so there was a good reason
to change it.
I think Firefox option was from one point of view,

I thought GIMP 2.2 required GTK = 2.4.

The word itself is inappropriate for software if you're trying
to feed it to the unwashed masses. I said this when GIMP was chosen as
a name back when it moved from Motif to GTK
A correction...
GIMP was called GIMP long before the move from Motif to GTK.

Hi and welcome!
There are people in better position to answer you on this!
But I am just quite happy to see a mail like this - I myself just go
around proposing weird features, and eventually finding and fixing a
minor bug. Lots of fun, either way.
So...bugzilla is the way to deliver bug
