I wanted to add some testing results.  I mentioned I used gtkam and it
was bad to crash.  Well, I experimented a bit and found out this.  If I
disable the gimp USE flag, gtkam doesn't seem to crash.  I tested for
longer than it usually lasts so it may crash again but it lasted through
a lot of clicking without crashing.  It is a good sign at least.  By the
way, gtkam crashed with a segmentation fault.  I have debug turned on
but it doesn't seem to help much.

I may report this to the gtkam folks if it is not to much trouble.  This
has been going on long enough.  BTW, I don't use gtkam within GIMP
anyway.  I only use GIMP after I have downloaded my pics.

At least if you go this way, you have a possible way to get it to not
crash.
