Well, this particular "can't grab the place to move the divider line" 
issue seems directly linked to using/not using the version of 
GTK-3.22.30 that I downloaded and patched, vs the unpatched version from 
Gentoo portage.

The reason I'm using GIMP git master is to help test some ongoing 
changes in the code that affects color management.

I wouldn't advise anyone to stop using 2.10 and switch to 2.99 unless 
they are likewise planning to help test the code - 2.99 does crash quite 
a lot even on Linux. Though the crash recovery code - that I think Jehan 
had a large part in writing, yes? - does work really well :) .

Best,
Elle
