Comment 27 for bug 786317

I'll have to get back to you on these. I'm still using gimp 2.6, mainly out of cowardice.

meanwhile, I don't know the difference between "gnome" "gnome shell" "ubuntu classic" "unity" "compiz" "metacity"
-- some of them are window managers, some are something else. It's confusing and I haven't seen anything that clearly explains what is what or the official way to choose between them in ubuntu. I followed some instructions, but I don't know now whether I have gnome or gnome shell...

regards
Andrew
