On the gimp port: Its really kind of pointless to go messing around with getting the 0.54 to work, the new version in beta at ftp://xcf.berkeley.edu/pub/gimp/developers is much more complete, and doesn't require motif, and there's no way the authors (with whom I'm fairly close friends) are going to maintain or answer questions about. I've contributed some code to their new widget toolkit and as such can guarantee that it compiles out of the box on FreeBSD. On the current topic, they have reworked the gimprc code which was really stupid in 0.54. -josh > * I just re-rebuilt it and tested it, I can't get it to fail yet.
