Dear Gimpers
Thanks for such a prompt reply --- when one is lost like the way I am
There is this wonderful mailing list
[What would I have done without internet :-(]
I had posted a question about -- which is the best way to start
gimp. [this was some time back].
I had received no reply then,
anyway this is how I start my gimp script.
[--enable-stack-trace {never|query|always} option is not available
in with gimp 1.1.04]

Please suggest any changes that I should make.
There is this another issue about starting multiple sessions
of this script but let us sort out this problem first.
Thanks again
