Good -- though I'm not sure I'd really like to use gimp under ratpoison
on a regular basis.  I might try it again when I have the resize patch! 
  
Suffice to say, I am very favorably impressed at how ratpoison reduces
applications to their "lowest common denominator" and "separates the wheat
from the chaff" and all that.

No disrespect to gimp, which is a cool program.  But image manipulations
tend to take way too much time.
