Gimp confusion: more info.

[Kevin Bullock <kbullock@ringworld.org>]

From the GNOME bug tracking system:
-----------------------------------
> * GIMP goes berserk if the swap file cannot be opened. Mine is in
> /tmp/.gimp/, and that directory is removed when /tmp is purged.
> 
> When this happens GIMP will put an unending stream of dialog boxes
> saying "can not open swap file, bad things will happen [OK]" on the
> screen. They appear so fast that my window manager and X-server get
> swamped. I can't kill the program or exit X, forcing me to reset the
> machine.

This is a known problem, but I fear we will not release an updated
version of gimp-1.0 since we are close to a 1.2 release. The 1.2
release will not have the problem described here.

Gimme my Gimp 1.2 dammit. ;p
