Comment 40 for bug 742516

I am also affected. Kubuntu 11.04 64 bit, up to date. Also I am using Oxygen. Note that the original installation was actually Ubuntu (with the horrible Unity) and I installed Kubuntu desktop on top of it, and was forced to use gdm (else if switched to Unity, it would not load desktop).

I have not yet tried the workarounds. I do not have at this moment the ~/.gimp-2.6 folder.

@Martin Pitt: I am wondering: Why would such a bug (a show stopper!!) have its "importance" lowered from High to Medium? What is the criteria here? A user click the gimp icon and the system does not do anything. Hello? aren't we talking about The gimp here? Is the criteria to not consider it High priority because it happens with Oxigen? so what? isn't that still critical to an user? If Photoshop would be crashing when a Windows or Mac user would be using certain window decoration, how acceptable would it be for any user whatsoever that Microsoft/Apple would not consider such bug High priority?
Why Linux would have to have this attitude towards their users? The gimp is a flagship for Linux ! don't you see that? When compared to Oxygen, who cares for Oxygen in this context?

Secondly, it has not been explained yet which one is the "best" workaround: to change window decorator or to create the missing directory? What about any other themes? I don't have Raleigh.
