> > Gimp has bugs, is the problem of devs Gimp, the same is for glib, but both projects are Gnome, so the devs are the same, so if problem is gimp, why back to glib 2.72, solves problem? If the problem is Gimp, not glib?

> This was already answered by the glib developer in the issue you opened. Did you even read it? Because gimp is using glib wrong and glib stopped ignoring this wrong usage which triggered this bug. The bug was always in gimp, but it was only triggered now that glib checks for it. This is an issue in gimp and should be fixed in gimp, but I don't have enough experience to fix it and noone else seems to currently, so we will fix it by reverting glib to 2.72 for now. When a proper fix is available, we will apply it to gimp and update glib again.

I read, I'm fed up with bad software and instable APIs, which are reinvented to wheel always, I don't want to fix bad software problems, I use Gnome up to version 2.x.x, then no more, kde up to version 3.5, I prefer to use D.E. Simple, I use the minimum required software, as current software is blotted and full of useless functions, Gnome project software, are made for Gnome desktop, there are numerous complaints about tied projects, projects such as Mplayer and Solus; etcs, they are not using and supporting gnome software because of the "gnome patterns".
