Okay, I've gone there, and I saw a lot of sub-directories, almost all of 
them are empty. Some do have something in them: the patterns I've added, 
the plug-in I've added and the tool-options.

I've followed the directions given at the above link, restarted GIMP and 
the mouse problem, which only happens with GIMP, is still there. It's 
making use of the software very difficult. In most instances when I use 
the mouse I end up highlighting the thing I want to do with the mouse 
and then I hit the ENTER key and it happens. Unfortunately, some 
operations just need the mouse to choose what you want to do.

Any suggestions?
