My friend loved the Ubuntu 10.10 because of gnome, but he loves to get upgraded so he upgraded and got the unity and told that he didn’t loved that. So he installed a fresh Kubuntu 11.04. Then while he started gimp, he found the following problem:
And asked me to help. Well as usual I searched for the solution over the internet but didn’t got the actual solution so I tried to mix up all the solution and concluded to a final solution that worked on my friends PC.
– change GTK+appearance to Rayleigh
– start Gimp and stop it
– change GTK+ appearance back to oxygen.
This process may apply to any other program. Hope this solution works for you.
many thanks, too. shame on gimp authors.
Hi hubla, its not the mistake of gimp authors. Its just a simple mistake of compatibility. If any problem occurs, we are there to help you guys.
Have fun.
thanks worked for me
Nice fix! Worked for me. I had that issue on 2 computers!
I just did:
# mkdir ~/.gimp-2.6
as suggested here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/775586
and that worked fine, just thought I mention it as a different solution.
Well that may work out.
Thanks.
It Works! Thanks!
Yes that seems to have worked for me too.
I can’t believe this slipped through the net; the solution is very simple for those in the know but what about Linux newbies?
Gotta say that Kubuntu 10.04 was excellent quality though, imo.
Thanx! It works!
the mkdir ~/.gimp-x.x (whichever version you have, i have 2.7) worked for me, thanks kees
Well thanks, I haven’t got any problem on my gimp after that solution. Though thanks, you process may help others. Thanks

My pleasure. We can’t leave without open source technologies.
Thanks, saved me hours of work. Worked like a charm. Top man.

Thanks it workd for me. Remember the days of old TV / windows machines to swithoff and swithon to work.
That was the awesome solution and that used to work :P… lol
hah i never would have thought of this but it worked!!
worked perfect! Not sure how u arrived at that but thanks!
worked
I’m running Kubuntu and that worked too. You need to make sure you do it in 2 places: Application Appearance –> GTK+ Appearance (widget style) and do the same in: Application Appearance –> Style (widget style).
