i have tried it. Much of the same seems like to me. I still hate to have to click once on the different palettes befor i can select a brush or something else in the tools. For instance, if I am working on an image and i want to select the text tool, I have to click once on the palette to select it iguess then again to press the button. Is there anyway around this under apple's X11?

I've tried to run the Gimp.app from http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/
under 10.2 ... but to no avail. Still - my copy of 10.3 is under way, so hopefully it'll work under that.

is the x11.app installed on your system? Gimp will run under 10.2

Yup - got the Apple X11.app ... I know that Gimp will run per sè ... but I'm specifically trying to run Gimp.app, which I haven't done before ... it does start up X11.app, but then the Gimp.app crashes. But I don't want to use fink (because of conflicts with some other OSS I've got installed) and I can't be arsed to build Gimp from source on my 10.2 system, because I'll be upgrading to 10.3 over the weekend (i.e. tomorrow with any luck )

oh ok. well i have no other ideas besides the normal permission repair, blah, blah, blah. Thankfully after upgrading to 10.3 with journaling I have had to do this rarely.

I think the problem is each window that contains the palettes and image doc are sibling windows - meaning only one can have the focus at a time. Had the developers made all the independent windows child-windows of one main window there wouldn't be any of this click-twice problem.

Their mirrors are overloaded right now it seems...5 hours for a download of 30mb is just way too long. Have to wait and go back later this week I guess.

On the plus side it does look like they've made some much needed improvements.
