Exclamation Gimp is acting up -- need help fast!
So, I was editing photos in Gimp, and I left it for about an hour. Now it's frozen up.
The keyboard commands/shortcuts don't work and I can't close it. None of the tools work either.
The only thing I can do is minimize and max. the window. Has this happened to anyone before? What can I do?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

You will have to reboot. Sorry if you have a bunch of unsaved work.

If the gimp is acting up then hit him briskly with a riding crop or studded paddle until he submits and behaves himself.










Then reboot your computer.

Thanks guys. I guess that's my only choice......

I think a little person (one of my sibs) messed with it.

Off to reboot *waaaaah!!!*
