Steps to reproduce: 1. File -> New 2. click any button (ok or cancel) 3. crash Stack trace: The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0xd38) has exited with code 0 (0x0). Unhandled exception at 0x1004117d in gimp-2.2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000. Other information: I'm running this on Win-XP pro as a power-user (not as administrator)
Sounds like bug 314529.
Maarten, can you please tell us where you got your GIMP binary from and what GTK+ runtime you are using?
Sven, I got the GIMP binary from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html My GTK+ runtime version is 2.6.9a.
Can you please update to the latest stable versions then and report back?
(In reply to comment #4) > Can you please update to the latest stable versions then and report back? > I updated to GTK+ 2.8.9. I had to run the installer twice but now it's ok. The bug does not manifest itself anymore. I wonder why I was running this old version. Maybe it has to do with gaim, which also uses GTK+... Sorry for your trouble and thanks for the fast replies. M.
That's why we refered you to bug #314529 in the first place. The GTK+ that ships with GAIM is known to be broken. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 314529 ***
