OK, now I did exactly as you've said and everything is working as it should.

O_o This either didnt work for me, or i didn't try it... If it does actually 
work with the same symptoms I had, it may help tracking down the bug. Enabling 
mouse as an extended device has never been mandatory before and feels like a 
bug.

Its a bug in GTK with extended devices and I believe a direct result of your 
fix to your previous problem. In your case, with tablet not working anyhow, 
just disable any and all extended devices that seem active and it should work 
as any ole toolbar.

Ooh, I just found out that the mouse was disabled as a pointing device! I
enabled it and now everything works. 

OK, last question abou tthis release: when I try the text tool, there's a
floating toolbar that hover over the top left side of the text frame. It seems
like it's supposed to allow me to change the text style/size/etc on the selected
text block, but it's always grayed out and I can't interact with it. The
controls on the text dialog alway control the entire text block, not just the
selection.

Is this a bug or the current status of the tool?

Thanks, I'll try to track it down.

Its a known issue at least for me with GTK. Under some obscure
conditions GTK stops calling the input callback for non-extended
devices, if extended devices are present. It's a really strange bug,
because randomly on some gimp starts everything works, and then again
its not working. Disable any extended devices that you have enabled
and it should work.

On your tablet, theres a patch floating around for linuxwacom that
adds the serial support back. It wasnt accepted to mainline because it
broke some serial screen tablets and its creator has not fixed it. But
as a theoretical way to use your old tablet again, its there.

Thanks Cameron and Owen! I managed to install it according to those 
instructions.

But something strange has happened: Gimp won't recognize any mouse clicks
on the canvas. I can use dialogs and press toolbar buttons but I can't
draw on the canvas. Stranger still, it affected Inkscape which now behaves
the same way.

Something to do with GTK maybe?
Or possibly with Xorg.conf? I did attempt unsuccessfully to install my tablet
(which is old and apparently no longer supported by LinuxWacom)m but I don't
think I did any harm to the xorg.conf file, and anyway, other apps seem to be
working fine, it's just the canvases on both Gimp and Inkscape.

Any ideas?

The site is gimpuser.com

If you don't know how to unpack your tarball you might need more help

>From the tutorial

Ignore the git stuff
replace ./autogen.sh with ./configure


Watch the word wrap

thanks, but these instructions are not for complete beginners and assumes I know
stuff I don't. Also, they are fro compiling from GIT - not from a tarball.

Look around in ubuntu forums. I think i've seen guides for at least git 
builds. 10.4 is new enough that you need to build just babl, gegl and gimp 
from source. If the instructions you find are for git, skip any git bits, 
extract your sources from respective tar-s and substitute ./autogen.sh with 
./configure

All binaries are provided by 3rd parties. There is an ubuntu PPA already that 
keeps up with git. This release is most likely going to be among them.

[Gimp-developer] Compiling Gimp 2.7.1

[Michael Grosberg]

Is there an official guide for compiling the latest development release,
Gimp 2.7.1, on Linux?
I have Ubuntu 10.04 but I'm not a programmer, and the installation
instructions on the gimp.org website are geared towards people who know what
they are doing. Which I'm not - and thereofre they are meaningless to me.
There are several guides to compiling Gimp on the web, but they all seem
different and since I don't understand what I'm doing I'm afraid I'll muck
something up if I choose the wrong one - or just waste my time.

Alternatively, are there any plans to provide binaries to this version
anytime soon?
