Hello 

I am new to the gimp but I am having problems with a file i am trying to edit.  
The file seemed to be working with debian stable and gimp 2.2.6 but I have 
upgraded to debian etch and gimp 2.2.10 and now the file will crash.

The file is a 5.8mb black and white jpeg.  The easiest way to recreate the 
crash is to open the file and just do a cut.  It seems to hang for a while 
and then the following is displayed on the terminal.

davmul@brookdale:~$ gimp
sending pixbuf data as 'image/png' (png)
sending pixbuf data as 'image/bmp' (bmp)
sending pixbuf data as 'image/jpeg' (jpeg)
The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 42130 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I am not sure if this is a gimp / X or debian problem so I have reported here 
first.  If you need more info let me know.
