KDE 1.1 and GIMP 1.1.2 - very strange behaviour

KDE 1.1 and GIMP 1.1.2 - very strange behaviour

Post by Rob Fishe » Mon, 08 Mar 1999 04:00:00



Hi folks,

I've compiled GIMP 1.1.2 on my 2.2.2 Linux/1.1 KDE PC, and everything
has built and installed fine. The problem is that whenever GIMP opens a
window it appears only in the KDE taskbar. If I click on it there then
the window opens properly. Has anyone else noticed this or run GIMP
1.1.2 successfully on a similar setup?

Thanks,

Rob

Are you sure you did not set it up so that
it opens up docked on the taskbar???? Check
the properties to make sure this isn't so...

Quite sure. Now the main GIMP toolbar window opens, but when I "Open
File", for instance, the file requester is minimized. Actually it's not
properly minimized because the name in the taskbar widget isn't in
brackets. Clicking on said widget opens the window on the desktop. It's
weird. I'm going to try recompiling tonight.

Not going to help!  I have the same problems.
Maybe 1.1.3 has solved this though?
I'll have to get it and compile.

1. GIMP 1.1 and KDE 1.1 problem

Hi all,

I've posted this before but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. So here goes
again.

I've got gimp 1.1.4 running with KDE 1.1 on both glibc Linux and Solaris
7 x86. About half of the windows gimp tries to open (most notably file
requesters) open kind of minimized. I say "kind of" because the icon
appears in the task bar, but the window name inside it is not in
brackets, as it would be if the window were minimized. When I click on
that icon, the window opens properly on my desktop. I can then minimize
and re-open to my heart's content, but the next time I try to open a
file, the window will again only open in the task bar.

This behaviour is the same on Linux, Solaris, and all versions of Gimp
from 1.1.1 to 1.1.4 with glib and 1.2, and it's _very_ irritating. If I
run the exact same Gimp binaries with OpenWindows on Solaris, everything
is fine.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Rob
