But I could DO that! (I am actually going to try scroll lock and
directional keys right now...nope, didn't work.)

Right. I would love a Debian binary package for i386 (yuck: GIMP AND
i386 -- and I'm admitting to this in a public forum!).

I have tried GIMP 1.3 on another platform (actually...fires up a
copy...hmmm, can't seem to use the arrow keys to do anything useful
there, either) but I actually find it deficient in some areas so I
stopped using it. Actually, I also remember that plug-ins tended to make
it crash but I couldn't get stack dumps from them because it wanted kept
dropping into a debugger that wouldn't accept keyboard input.
