GIMP/GNOME/Blackbox mess :(

[Dan Birchall <djb scream org>]

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this, and if so, whether
anyone knows how to fix it, short of removing either GIMP, GNOME
or Blackbox from my system.

Whenever I save a file in GIMP (as of 10:30 this morning, before
which all was well), I get logged out back to the XDM prompt.
The .xsession-errors looks like this:

| blackbox.cc: signal 11 caught
| shutting down
| aborting... dumping core
|
| Gdk-ERROR **: an x io error occurred
| aborting...
|
| ** ERROR **: an x io error occurred
| gimp terminated: sigabrt caught
| wire_read: unexpected EOF (plug-in crashed?)

The system is a NEC Versa 2000, '486-75 laptop, 36mb/1.3gb
Potentially relevant software is:

gimp-1.0.1-2
gimp-data-extras-1.0.0-4
gimp-devel-1.0.1-2
gimp-extra-fonts-0.10-4
gimp-libgimp-1.0.1-2

glib-1.2.1-1
glib-devel-1.2.1-1
glib10-1.0.6-4

glibc-2.1-0.990219
glibc-devel-2.1-0.990219

gnome-admin-1.0.1-1
gnome-audio-1.0.0-1
gnome-core-1.0.3-12
gnome-games-1.0.1-5
gnome-libs-1.0.3-4
gnome-linuxconf-0.17-3
gnome-network-1.0.1-1
gnome-objc-1.0.1-1
gnome-pim-1.0.3-1
gnome-utils-1.0.1-3

gtk+-1.2.1-4
gtk+-devel-1.2.0-2
gtk+10-1.0.6-4
gtk-engines-0.5-8

I've been able to run GIMP under Enlightenment (which is a real DOG on this
machine) and TWM (hand-positioning GIMP's myriad pop-up windows does not do
much for my sanity) but would greatly prefer to stick with Blackbox for
performance reasons.
