I wanted to add some testing results. I mentioned I used gtkam and it |
| 37 |
was bad to crash. Well, I experimented a bit and found out this. If I |
| 38 |
disable the gimp USE flag, gtkam doesn't seem to crash. I tested for |
| 39 |
longer than it usually lasts so it may crash again but it lasted through |
| 40 |
a lot of clicking without crashing. It is a good sign at least. By the |
| 41 |
way, gtkam crashed with a segmentation fault. I have debug turned on |
| 42 |
but it doesn't seem to help much. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I may report this to the gtkam folks if it is not to much trouble. This |
| 45 |
has been going on long enough. BTW, I don't use gtkam within GIMP |
| 46 |
anyway. I only use GIMP after I have downloaded my pics. |

At least if you go this way, you have a possible way to get it to not |
| 49 |
crash. |
