 Akkana - Good lead, although it didn't result in any
 solutions. Changed the file and it read it, but still faceted
 lines.

 I'm running GIMP 2.2.10 on XP. I don't think it is a device
 problem on account of the fact that I have duplicated my
 problem with both my mouse and tablet, as well as on other
 machines.

 I'm surprised that no one else has run into this. Can anyone
 duplicate my problem? Just draw a circle or arc with a
 paintbrush really quickly and you will VERY clearly see that
 it is comprised of strait lines.

 I scoured the rest of the *rc files without seeing anything of
 promise.

 Other leads?

What system do you use? It sounds to me it's to slow for the load..
It looks like the mousedriver gets stressed, and thus only gives you a few 
points. (Polling to slow)
Either that or you and your mouse is way to fast.. :)

Does the same problem occur if you draw the circle slower?
Does the same problem occur in another drawing program?
Do you experience jerky movement elsewhere?

 Carol, I tried looking at indexing. Doesn't seem to effect it.
 
 Attached is a small image of a quickly drawn cirle that shows
 the facetting that I am experiencing.

It looks like your system isn't reading all the mouse positions,
only getting some of the mouse motion events.

There's a configuration option in the gimprc man page that might
be related:

| (perfect-mouse yes)
|
|When enabled, the X server is queried for  the  mouse's  current
|position  on each motion event, rather than relying on the posi-
|tion hint.  This means painting with  large  brushes  should  be
|more  accurate,  but  it  may  be slower.  Perversely, on some X
|servers enabling this option results in faster painting.  Possi-
|ble values are yes and no.

I don't remember whether you said what platform you were on, but
it might be worth adding a line to your gimprc (that's a text file
located in your GIMP profile directory -- just edit it when gimp is
not running, and add the line) and try both settings to see if one
of them makes it better.
