I have never used Mandriva so it will be difficult for me to help. However, did you check what is invoked when you run gimp? Some distributions replace the GIMP binary by a shell script that does some checks and modifies the environment. I do not know if this is the case for Mandriva. Other than that, you should probably seek help from Mandriva or from other Mandriva users. Or fetch the source RPM from Mandriva, extract it and review the patches that get included when you rebuild.

[Gimp-user] Appending jpg images
I split a pdf file into 4 jpegs by using the File/Acquire/Screen Shot option to get one then scrolling down the pdf and repeating the process. I now wish to create a single jpeg of all 4 of them. This I have no idea how to accomplish. I have tried pulling one into GIMP and expanding the work area to paste in the second but that did not work. Can someone please give a pointer on how to do this? Or perhaps a URL? TIA, Steve ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

However, if this for some reason does not work, open the individual jpegs and the layer dialog. Then drag the layers from three of the images to the remaining image, you get an image with multiple layers. You can use the move tool to adjust the images, you need to resize the canvas to make them all fit in the image though.

Wade Smart wrote: 11232005 1246 GMT-5 I want to put some extra space between letters of some words without actually putting in a 'space' from the space bar. How does one do that? You want some kind of kerning adjustment. The text tool in the 2.3.x series has such an adjustment for the text tool. It's just below the 'line spacing' adjustment in the text tool options.

Re: [Gimp-user] Transparent Logos...
Yes but the background is white? Why is it so hard to save a transparent logo? It was transparent... but when saving it, the background is white. On Mon, 2005-11-14 at 13:15 +, Donncha O Caoimh wrote: Hi Jeff, That's the easy part - save your logo as a .xcf or .jpg and when you're editing a photo load up your logo image. Copy that image by hitting CTRL-c to copy, and then select your photo. CTRL-v to paste it. Take a look at the Layers dialog (CTRL-L if it's not visible) and right click on the Floating Selection (pasted layer) layer and select New Layer. You should be able to drag the logo around your photo now using the Move tool (the one with the 4 arrows). When saving as a jpeg, GIMP will ask you to merge the layers, that's perfectly normal. That's probably something I should do with my own photos! Hope that helps! Donncha.
