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.
