Dear All,
After I upgraded my machine (Dell, 1GB RAM, PIV processor) to
Fedora 7, gimp worked fine for a few days. Then it started to hang
after about ten minutes of use. It works fine (pencil, crop and
fill), but after gimp has been used for about, say ten minutes,
whenever I try to open or save a file from the File menu, the menu
appears and then gimp hangs. Nothing can be done after that except
forced kill.
Then I upgraded gimp to the latest available stable version 2.2.17
(from koji). Then after about a week the problem reappeared. I can
work for a few minutes, even save and/or open a file or two, then
gimp hangs as soon as I use an item in File menu.
No problem occurs if gimp is used as a superuser (using su -c). I
am always against running an application as the superuser, and
advise people against it, but I really need to meet a few
deadlines.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.
