Hmm. Interesting.. The only issue here is that I was trying to use Gimp 
on Windows, since I don't have a licensed version of PSP for both of the 
machines I need a graphic editor on. Of course Gimp malfunctions on 98, 
so that really didn't help me much. But nice to know that feature exists 
under KDE. If Gimp worked right for me under 98, I would check to see if 
it did there too, but I think I am better off just deleting it. They 
don't recommend using the Windows version on Pre-NT systems anyway. :(
