 Since this is a developers version, we are at the moment not really

+interested in receiving too many bug-reports. Some parts of the code
+are unfinished and under heavy development and we know that.
+Bug-reports for incomplete or missing are features are therefore often
+not helpful. Instead of filing a bug you should try to contact the
+person who is working on this particular part of the program (see the
+ChangeLog) or try to fix it yourself. You should report crashes and
+other severe bugs at Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/). Your
+bug-report needs to provide detailed instruction of how to reproduce
+the problem. For reports on crashes, please also include a stack
+trace.
+
+If you experience crashes whenever you try to start gimp-1.3, you are
+most probably using gdkxft or another LD_PRELOAD hack designed for
+gtk+-1.2. These hacks will not work with GTK+-2.0 applications like
+this version of The GIMP.
 
 
 Have fun,
