Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2005-05-06 21:45:15 UTC 
Can't reproduce here. Please update gimp (and perhaps gtk+ as well) and tell us
if that fixes your problem.

Comment 4 weskaggs 2005-05-23 16:19:21 UTC 
It is perhaps worth noting that bug #305142 (marked as dup of this one)
explicitly states that updating to GIMP 2.2.7 did not fix the problem. 
Apparently Ubuntu Hoary uses a modified version of Gtk+ 2.6.4.  Removing
NEEDINFO because this seems to answer the questions that were asked.
Comment 5 Sven Neumann 2005-05-23 23:04:22 UTC 
I have run gimp-2.3 in valgrind, opening a remote image by DND and saving it,
and couldn't find anything related. Will try with gimp-2.2 next...

Comment 7 Sven Neumann 2005-06-20 13:49:25 UTC 
I suspect that the problem is either in gtk+ or (more likely) in gnomevfs. It
would be important to know exactly what versions of these libraries are being
used where this bug shows up. It will also be a good idea to look for similar
bug reports on gtk+ and gnomevfs products.

One way to find out if gnomevfs is the culprit here is to disable use of the
gnomevfs file-chooser backend. To do that, use the following command-line:

gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/file_chooser_backend --type string unix

To get the current value of this setting, use:

gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/interface/file_chooser_backend

To reset it to gnome-vfs, just use:

gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/file_chooser_backend --type string
gnome-vfs
Comment 8 Petter Sundlöf 2005-06-20 15:43:40 UTC 
This does not happen with gtk+ as the backend. This was implied in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307066 I think.
Comment 9 Sven Neumann 2005-06-20 22:37:39 UTC 
Now if we would know what version of gnomevfs this problem shows up with, we
could reassign the report and eventually get the problem fixed.
Comment 10 Petter Sundlöf 2005-06-20 23:22:27 UTC 
2.10.1 (2.10.1-5 in Debian).
Comment 11 Petter Sundlöf 2005-06-21 16:33:13 UTC 
This isn't happening anymore with 2.10.1-5 and GIMP 2.2.7-1.
Comment 12 Sven Neumann 2005-06-21 20:20:38 UTC 
People should update gnome-vfs then. If someone finds the relevant bug report on
gnomevfs, please mark this one as a duplicate. For now I will close it as OBSOLETE.
