Paste into the lower left corner there, and anchor the selection. Stack trace: Other information:
Does not seem to happen for cvs GIMP (with FC4/metacity). A stack trace might be informative.
I'm attaching a stack trace now.

Thanks, but that isn't a stack trace. A stack trace is what you get by running in a debugger (i.e., "gdb gimp"), causing the program to crash, then typing "where" at the debugger prompt.
Created attachment 59299 [details] stack trace, really this time I feel silly. I only use a debugger several times a day, some weeks. I'm not sure why I gave you output from strace instead.
The stack trace lacks some debugging symbols but from a quick look, I would say that the crash is in your GTK+ theme engine. The bug is almost definitely not in GIMP code. I would suggest that you try a different GTK+ theme and/or make sure you are using the latest version of GTK+.
Setting status to NEEDINFO until Joel reports back.
Joel, please have a look at comment #6.
(In reply to comment #6) I tried two other GTK+ themes, Traditional and Bluecurve, and found the same behavior with both. I'm using GTK+ 2.6.10, which I think is the most recent stable version, yes?
The latest stable GTK+ is 2.8.13. But if this is a general problem with GTK+, we would have had more reports already.

closing as per last comment, thanks for the feedback.
