Yikes! Quitting Tux Paint should unlock the lock file right away. There's supposed to be a time-delay on the lock file but quitting Tux Paint should remove the lock immediately. I guess in our original implementation discussion we didn't specify that. Something to fix for the next release? Or is this important enough to be fixed and re-release made right away?
