I guess you are refering to "The Egg" as found in the "Toys" menu?! That was the easter egg of Gimp-1.0. But, hey, there's a new hidden one in the development versions...
They gave thousands of dollars to the code and groups in the Open Source movement that they had a lot of respect for in the form of the beanie awards.
Well, would be cool if they actually did pay the money. The GIMP developers crew is still waiting for their money from the Beanie Award. Last week we had a developers conference and we would have urgently needed the money for this purpose. Thankfully the FSF generously supported us. And, yes, we actually tried to get the money. Andover as well as VA Linux didn't reply to any mail we've sent so far.
Corel Linux's installer seems to probe your monitor the same way that Windows does.
RedHat 6.1 does the same thing. As long as you have a monitor that knows how to answer that request, you are fine. But often you will want to use another resolution than the standard ones, then you are stuck with modelines again.
There is now an interesting statement on the website of Channel One:

This of course in german again, but it appears that they have claimed the name Linux before someone else with a bad intention does it. The company seems to be quite Linux-friendly and they state that they have no intention at all to make profit out of the trademark.
As you mention version control. There's a plug-in for the GIMP that does what you are searching for: Check out the xdelta plug-in from the plug-in registry: http//registry.gimp.org.
PS: Eeek, I'm so happy my server (sven.gimp.org) survided the/. effect. It's a 486-DX33 with 8MB RAM and it's still alive...
Just to answer your question: Yes, it is possible!
The current developers version of The GIMP compiles cleanly on Win32 platforms (using a completely free set of GNU tools) and fully integrates with the Windoof environment (Twain image sources, clipboard, printing). This hasn't hurt the GIMP development so far (as the main porting effort is in porting GTK/GDK).
I'm not sure if GIMP for Windows will help the OpenSource movement, but before the end of this year, we'll have GIMP/Win32 if we like or not...
You might want to have a look at GDK/GTK+ and probably Imlib, since these libs are very portable and hide a lot of the basic X programming from you while providing you with a nice cacheing mechanism for pixmaps.
See http://www.gtk.org for GDK and GTK+ and http://www.labs.redhat.com/imlib/ for Imlib.

Gimp 1.2 Preview
·
· Score: 1
What's this 'Preview Month' you're talking about?
The Gimp development has always been open to the public. At some time less than at other times, but CVS has always been open to the brave ones. If you want to stay in touch with development I strongly advice you to play around with the Gimp releases or to pass by on http://sven.gimp.org/1.1/
And, yes I'll update that site tomorrow to reflect the fact that 1.1.6 has been released.
Slashdot Mirror
Anyway, I sure would like to see multibyte support in the Gimp someday.
GIMP FreeType, our freetype plug-in is on its best way to support multibyte fonts.

My favorite:
Modeline "1368x1024" 150 1368 1400 1516 1712 1024 1027 1030 1064
The mouse that comes with the Wacom Intuos Tablets
has this. Additionally it is wireless, needs no
batteries, no ball and uses absolute positioning.
Unfortunately the thumb wheel isnt supported at
all under Linux. When I find the time Ill try to
hack that into The Gimp at least.
