[Gimp-developer] clone tool not working?!?

2001-12-28 Thread Karl Beckers 

Hello all,

I'm experiencing this problem with the clone tool and have been
searching the web and groups and mailing lists all over without
finding anything.

What's happening:
While working on an rgb xcf file I choose the clone tool, do the
CTRL-left click thing to set the source position. when I release
CTRL the mouse pointer never changes from the parking 
prohibited style thingie to the destination cursor.

I've read a single mail with this as a complaint/possible bug report
and a single answer saying the problem was not reproduceable.

The system I'm running this on is a SuSE 7.1 linux with Ximian
Gnome and the 1.2.2. Ximian gimp package installed. I have also
tried this on a Solaris 8 machine with non-Ximian 1.4 GNOME installed
and the 1.2. Gimp that came with it and a v1.1.95 Gimp somebody
installed elsewhere. Same thing happening everywhere.

I also tried a pristine new black and white image, added layers and
things, to no betterment.

If everybody else is using this without problem, what am I doing 
wrong? Is this user error? some library/gtk problem? Has anybody
a clue what I should try next (before compiling Gimp from scratch)?

TIA,

Karl.

[Gimp-developer] Re: [Gimp Developer] clone tool not working?!? ... RESOLVED

Hello again,

got it fixed, thanks to everybody who helped.

Turned out it is a sawfish issue.
With GNOME/sawfish the default modifier for keyboard shortcuts in
the Window context is CTRL. CTRL-drag moves a window, CTRL-
button2 click pops up the sawfish window properties menu, etc. 

Sawfish apparently has no way of knowing that when you're CTRL-
clicking you don't want to drag.
To me changing the default modifier for the Window context from 
CTRL to super (the windows key) was the most convenient way to
resolve the issue.

Cheers,

Karl.
