            Bug ID: 281487
           Summary: GIMP causing hard-hang on 13.3p6 (caused by old config
                    dir)
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd@tim.thechases.com

I wish I had a better timeframe for when this started happening,
but it's been more than a year (I don't use GIMP that often, and I
figured it was a fluke last time and haven't revisited it until
now).

Upon startup, it would display the gray box where it usually shows
the splash-screen, and then hang hard.  The mouse would continue
to move, but I couldn't click on any other windows, using key-chords
to switch Fluxbox to a different desktop wouldn't work, and using
control+alt+F1 to go to the text console also failed.  Tapping the
power button had no effect and required the hold-it-down-for-five-seconds
to kill the machine.  I didn't have another machine on at the time
to test if I could ping my FreeBSD box.

After some troubleshooting, it appears to have been my ~/.config/GIMP
directory.  Renaming that to _GIMP allowed me to start it uneventfully.
The configuration directory had no manual changes, only things that
GIMP saw fit to write there through normal use.

I've tgz'ed up my ~/.config/GIMP directory and posted it[1] (redacting
my local username from a comment in themerc and didn't include two
backups/backup-00?.xcf files but can provide those if they're
suspect) and have included my dmesg[2] (taken after the hang/reboot)

If there's any other info that would be helpful, I can try and
capture requisite information.

I asked about this on Reddit[3] and was advised to mention the issue
to the listed maintainer because hard-hang bugs are considered
serious.  So here's my bug report.
