Bug Description
Binary package hint: gimp
Hi,
release is a Feisty.
cyril@tiffany:~$ gimp-remote http://
The program 'gimp-remote' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'.
(Details: serial 94 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
I tried with --sync, almost same result:
cyril@tiffany:~$ gimp-remote --sync http://

It is quite grave because I cannot start Gimp from Nautilus. To my girlfriend it makes our computer totally useless.
What can I do? The current workaround is to directly call gimp but I'm not comfortable with opening as many gimps as my girlfriend can load pictures, and that's quite a lot ;-)
Thanks for your help,
Cyril
