I'm not aware of this problem being reported before, but as you have
apparently found reports by others with that issue, could you link to
your findings?

The majority of users seem to be able to use GIMP just fine, so
identifying this issue to make it also usable for the unlucky few is the
better approach.

For that we should know a few more things:

- what version of GIMP do you use?
- what platform are you on?
- do the brushes work in the image, even though they do not appear in
the brushes dialog?
