Fresh install of Kubuntu 11.04 amd64.
Gimp doesn't start from the menu.
From command line, it gives this error message.
(gimp:6702): GLib-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./glib/goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0
Segmentation fault
Is this a bug, or something I can fix?
TIA
Peter

It's a bug; #742516 at launchpad.
There is a workaround at Launchpad;
- change GTK+appearance to Rayleigh
- start Gimp and stop it
- change GTK+ appearance back to oxygen.
This seems to work for me.

Just installed gimp from ppa (ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn) and problem seems to be fixed!

I sort of remember doing this a while back, but I don't think it was for Gimp... I think I'm going to go try this in another computer that has an unrelated ubuntu issue, who knows, it might work!
