You will need to enter your email address and receive a password before
you can use the system to register a new bug report.</P

>There are a number of options to select and boxes to fill in when
submitting a bug report. Please remember that the more information you
give, the easier it will be to track the problem down. Extra information
that may prove useful includes:</P

> How to reproduce the bug.</P
><P
>If you can reproduce it with the testgtk program
that is built in the gtk/ subdirectory, that will be most
convenient. Otherwise, please include a complete, short test
program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also
provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can
be downloaded.</P
><P
>(Bugs that can be reproduced within the GIMP are
almost as good as bugs that can be reproduced in
testgtk. If you are reporting a bug found with the GIMP,
please include the version number of the GIMP you are
using)</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was
printed out when the crash occurred. If you can easily reproduce this
crash then running the program under a debugger (e.g. gdb) and getting
a backtrace when the crash occurs is very useful.</P

> Further information such as stack traces
may be useful. If you do send a stack trace,
and the error is an X error, it will be more useful if the stacktrace is
produced running the test program with the <TT

command line option.</P
