Journal stoolpigeon's Journal: Little Gimp Trouble Today 2
I'm a Fedora user as I've mentioned before. I do not run the default de, gnome though. I'm a KDE user. I recently moved my main work machine to Fedora 18. I had a bump or two but I've gotten things mostly dialed in. Today I tried to use the Gimp to do some work on an image but it would not start. I tried from the launcher first and that failed. I moved to the console and was greeted by an immediate segfault.
These attempts kicked off the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) and so I decided I should let it send in a report. It did it's thing and informed me that the bug had already been reported with a link to this bug. This was rather nice.
I looked at the bug report and saw that this is an issue dealing with the theme KDE was using for GTK+ apps. Well - I'm just using the defaults and didn't even know where to look to change this so I googled. The answer is to go to System Settings -> Application Appearance (not Workplace Appearance) -> GTK+ Appearance. On the page there I had a few choices for Widget style. For now I've chosen Adwaita. I'll keep an eye on this bug and switch back when it gets fixed.
So if you are a KDE user and Gimp wont start - there you go - that should fix it.
Ever used Gimp with a Wacom tablet? (Score:2)
I have an Wacom Intuos 5 tablet and so far have had no real success getting it to play with the Gimp. Curious if you have fared any better?

I have a tablet at work and I'm pretty sure it is a wacom. I've used it with Gimp and Inkscape. Next week when I'm in the office I could give you more details.
