Description of problem: After an installation on a "clean slate" opening gimp from a terminal prompt produces the following message: (gimp:31377): Gimp-Config-CRITICAL **: file gimpconfigwriter.c: line 96 (gimp_config_writer_new_file): assertion `error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed GIMP: Could not open '/home/michal/.gimp-1.3/pluginrc' for reading: No such file or directory The same error "Could not open '/home/michal/.gimp-1.3/pluginrc'...' shows up also when trying to execute, for example, "ASCII to Image" script from "Utils". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gimp-2.0-1.pre3.4.1 How reproducible: All them time.
This should be fixed in gimp-2.0pre4 which will be delayed until after test2 unfortunately (devel freeze). As a workaround, you can run "touch ~/.gimp-1.3/pluginrc" before running gimp.
Fixed in gimp-2.0.0.
