GIMP 1.1 and KDE 1.1 problem

Post by Rob Fishe » Sat, 17 Apr 1999 04:00:00



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

This is a frequently asked question, with no answer that I know of. Grab
some KDE hacker and ask a) what gimp might be doing wrong or b) what KDE
might be doing wrong.

Oops. Sorry!

I thought this was where the KDE hackers were most likely to be found. I
guess that if it's a FAQ there's not much point reporting it as a bug.

1. KDE & GIMP 1.1 problems

Hello to everybody

I've got a problem with KDE and GIMP 1.1.

After some HW trouble with my PC and replaced the MB
and "reloaded" Linux (SuSe 6.1), X and KDE.
With the 'old' system, everything was OK.

Problem On KDE.

It happens that when I open some windows and
I have to confirm an action the system doesn't
act immediately; I have to press twice the button.
As an example I would change the display properties,
after chancing let's say the background I have to
press twice the Apply or the Ok button because the
action take place.

Problem On GIMP

* Opening a New File: the window stay iconized ....
  and I've to press twice the 'icon' to open the
  window .... see previous problem
* select a drawing tool (brush, pencil, airbrush);
  try to draw something: instead to draw a 'point'
  or a line (a sketch ...) the prg draw a little bird
  (ok, don't smile on this please).
  I look on the .gimprc file (and otthers .rc files)
  but I'm not able to see the bug.

Thanks in advance for the help
Many greeetings
Carlo
