[QUOTE=malcolmlewis;9492]Hi
If you create a test user, is the error duplicated?

Yes, it is duplicated. Just a guess, I use OpenJDK Java instead of the Sun’s one. The issues with touchpad and GIMP started shortly after some java update, could it cause the problem?
I have the same problem in my SLED11 SP2 and have been having this problem in SP1 and even before SP1. It stops part way through the loading process and the Startup screen displays:
Looking for data files
Documents
and it sits there.
However, if I log in as different user on the same machine GIMP loads fine. I tried to delete .gimp-2.6 folder and start GIMP and copy .gimp-2.6 from the other users home folder but none worked.
When GIMP started from shell I get following:
[CODE]> gimp
(gimp:16844): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `GtkScaleButton’
[QUOTE=malcolmlewis;10891]Hi
What happens if you delete the gimp config directory in your home directory?
rm -r ~/.gimp*

I tried it already. I described it in my previous post. Delete .gimp-2.6 from my home directory and started GIMP and got same problem. Then I copied .gimp-2.6 directory from the other user’s home folder (for whom it starts OK) but did not work either.
[QUOTE=mikewillis;10901]You could try working out which files gimp is looking at in your home directory and renaming them temporarily to see if that fixes the problem.
$ strace -f -o gimpstrace gimp[/CODE][/QUOTE]
Gimp freezes up on startup on the splash screen at the point where is says:
"Looking for data files
Documents"

I don’t know what can I assume from this output.[/QUOTE]
Nor do I. Google only yeilds a few other instances of people having the same issue but no solution.
You need to look at the file gimpstrace - that’s where strace wrote all it’s output. In amongst it all will be a list of all the files that it’s looking at. You can filter out the ones that are in your home directory with
$ grep '/home/yourusercodehere' gimpstrace
The output will be a bit messy still. You should be able to reduce it to a more manageable list with
