Gimp shutting off monitor

[David McGlone]

Hi All,

Today I was editing a photo in the Gimp, and my monitor completely shut off. I 
couldn't use any keys on my keyboard to switch to a console nor could I use 
ctrl+alt+del to reboot the computer. All I could do was do a hard reset using 
the power button.

I didn't realize it was the gimp at first, until after a couple times of 
opening gimp and the same thing would happen.

Also, this did happen a while back, somewhere when KDE 4 had came out or a 
little after, but I thought it was my desktop effects, so I disabled them, and 
the problem didn't return, but only because I was done using the gimp at the 
time. So I really didn't realize it wasn't the desktop effects, but Gimp 
instead.

Anyone else having this problem?
