If you don't mind switching between windows (the gimp main window and
the picture) it's pretty useable. There's one big problem: 64MB ram is
just not enough since the gimp caches a lot of stuff *and* swaps to
$HOME/.gimp. But if you can get the memory usage down it would be a nice
showcase that 'embedded' doesn't mean 'dumbed down'. We need such fluff :)

Koen
