I'm new to Macs, and downloaded the latest Gimp for Macs. Whenever I use a paintbrush and try to drag it, Gimp crashes and closes. I can draw dots, but not drag the paintbrush on my image. Anyone knows how to fix that?
TIA

The X11 drivers in Leopard are buggy. You can patch them yourself. Run these commands from the terminal:

curl -LO http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/x11-apple/x11_update.sh
sudo sh x11_update.sh
